History
The eponymous market, called Mohanlalganj, was established in 1859 by Raja Kashi Parshad and named after his father-in-law, Mohan Lal, from whom he had received his estate.[3] Kashi Parshad had spent 50,000 rupees to finance its construction, and later additions costing a further 30,000 rupees were made, including drains and masonry verandas.[3] At the turn of the 20th century, the Mohanlalganj bazaar was described as an important commercial center, mainly for grain and cloth, and its entrances were marked by two grand archways.[3] Kashi Parshad also built a 250-foot-tall temple for one lakh (100,000) rupees; the temple was built from brick and given a veneer of marble and black stone.[3]
Mohanlalganj historically was the seat of a pargana, having succeeded Amethi in this capacity.[3]
