About Brahmanbaria
Brahmanbaria is a traditional Titus-Vidhaut district of the central-eastern region of river-fed Bangladesh. There are several opinions regarding the naming of Brahmanbaria district. It is heard that during the reign of the Sen dynasty, due to the lack of elite Brahmins in Brahmanbaria, there was a disturbance in worship. Because of this, King Lakshman Sen brought some Brahmin families from Adisur Kanyakunj to the region. Among them some Brahmin families built houses in Maulvi Para of the city. Many believe that the district was named Brahmanbaria because of the location of the house of those Brahmins. According to another theory, Shah Sufi Hazrat Kazi Mahmud Shah, an Islamic preacher from Delhi, ordered the said Brahmin families to leave the city, from which the name Brahmanbaria is believed to have originated. The subdivision was established in 1860 at Brahmanbaria, bordering the state of Tripura in eastern India. Initially included in Tripura district.
