Panhan, also called Panhan Khas,[3] is a small village in Purwa block of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[2] Located due south of Purwa and a bit to the west of the Loni River, it historically was the seat of a pargana.[3] As of 2011, the village's population is 545 people, in 104 households.[2]
Panhan was supposedly founded around 300 BCE by a Bhar raja named Pann, who named it after himself.[3] An old ruined fort on the north side of the village is said to be the remains of the ancient Bhar stronghold.[3] Then around 300 CE, it was supposedly conquered by Abhai Chand Bais and thereafter formed part of the region called Baiswara.[3] Panhan is listed in the late-16th century Ain-i-Akbari as a Bais-held pargana, with a revenue of 267,809 dams and a military force of 300 infantry.[3]
At the turn of the 20th century, Panhan was described as "a very small village, only worthy of mention as giving its name to the pargana."[3] Locally renowned for its sweetmeats, it had three Hindu temples to Mahadeo and Devi, as well as the shrine of the Muslim faqir Muhammad Shah.[3] Fairs were held in January and March in his honour, drawing large crowds from the surrounding countryside.[3] It also had an upper primary school with 60 students, mostly coming from the neighbouring villages of Pakhra, Mamrezpur, and Malauna.[3] The population of the village in 1901 was 284, a majority of whom were Kachhis; there was also a Muslim minority of 55.[3]
The 1961 census recorded Panhan as comprising 2 hamlets, with a total population of 339 (184 male and 155 female), in 70 households and 68 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 323 acres.[4]
