Shree Mahavir Courier Branches in Bulandshahr

About Bulandshahr — A Brief History

Bulandshahr sits in western UP, on the banks of the Kali river, just south-east of Delhi. The settlement is very old the Mahabharata mentions it as Baran, named after Raja Ahibaran of the Lunar dynasty, and the modern name Bulandshahr (literally 'high city') was given by Sultan Mahmood Ghazni when he passed this way in the eleventh century, because the old town stood on a rise above the river.

The district is mostly known across India for two things. The first is the Kalkaji Mata temple at Khurja, an old shrine that draws steady regional pilgrim crowds. The second is the famous town of Khurja itself, which has been one of India's biggest pottery centres since the Mughal period the Khurja blue-pottery and ceramic-tile cluster has a Geographical Indication tag and supplies dinner-sets, plant pots and tiles to dealers across the country. Anupshahr on the Ganga, with its old ghats and the Kachla Mela fair, and Sikandrabad's Mughal-era Tomb of Kaale Khan complete the local heritage map.

The local economy mixes Khurja pottery, sugar (Bulandshahr has been a major sugar belt since the British canal age), wheat, basmati rice and a growing engineering MIDC at Sikandrabad. The town sits on the Delhi-Kanpur railway and NH-91, with the Yamuna Expressway just to the west. Shree Mahavir Courier's Bulandshahr branches handle the daily run of pottery-trade dispatch, sugar-mill papers and family parcels for the city and the smaller towns of Khurja, Sikandrabad, Anupshahr, Siyana and Shikarpur every working day, with steady seasonal flows during the Khurja pottery export season and the Anupshahr Kachla Mela.
