Ausgram II

Ausgram II is a community development block. It is a municipality in Bardhaman Sadar North subdivision of Purba Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal.

Studies at the nearby Pandu Rajar Dhibi archeological site have found, overall, six layers of occupation. There are traces of a civilisation similar to the Indus Valley Bronze Age civilisation found at Harappa in Punjab (2600 - 1900 BCE) and to the Minoan civilization of Crete (3100 - 1450 BCE). The main mound at Pandu Rajar Dhibi is associated with Pandu, the Kuru King (1200 - 900 BCE) with evidence of Chalolithic Bronze Age (1600 - 750 BCE) and then Iron Age (1300 - 300 BCE) peoples.

Medieval India refers to the period between the fall of the Gupta Empire in the 6th century CE and the rise of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century CE.

The region between the Damodar River and the Ajay River was known as "Gopbhum ". It was here that the Sadgop kings ruled in the late medieval period. Their presence continues in the region as part of the Yadav community.

As it is said, traditionally, that in the 11th century CE, the Hindu king, Adi Sura brought five Brahmin and Kayastha from Kannauj, in what is now Uttar Pradesh, to Gopbhum in order to revive orthodox Brahminical Hinduism in West Bengal and that they are represented now by the Kulin community.

In the 14th century CE, King Mahendranath ruled from his fort at Amrargar. One can see the elementary remains of the foundation of a fort. In the 17th century CE, the Amrargar chiefdom faced the warriors of the Bardhaman Raj and in the 18th century, Bargi mercenaries of the Maratha Confederacy.

Ausgram II CD Block is located in the central area of West Bengal, the eastern most state of India. It is approximately 41km northwest from the centre of Bardhaman (Burdwan) city, the capital of Purba Bardhaman district and approximately 100 km northwest of Kolkata, the state capital.

Ausgram II has an area of 360.45 km2 . To the north, Ausgram II is bordered by the Ajay River. To the east is Ausgram I. To the south is Galsi I and to the west is the border with Paschim Bardhaman district.
