This article is about the historical capital city of Avadh in Uttar Pradesh, India. For the present day modern city, see Faizabad. For other uses, see Faizabad (disambiguation).
Local tradition holds Fyzabad or now Faizabad is identical with Saketa of the Ramayana, supposedly the private estate of King Dasharatha, the father of Rama. It is claimed that Saket was renamed after the death of Faiz Baksh, a courtier of the Nawab of Awadh. Historically, when Nawab Saadat Ali Khan, Burhan-ul-Mulk was given the charge of the Subah of Awadh around 1722 by the Mughal court, he settled on the banks of the river Ghaghara, building a fortress and mud barracks. Due to these temporary dwellings, the settlement was initially referred to as 'Bangla' (implied meaning- hutment).[1]
