In the southern part of Eminabad lies the remains of
an ancient mound, a testament to the passage of time. This particular mound,
believed to be two thousand years old, once belonged to the illustrious Kingdom
of Raja Rasalu, the younger brother of the renowned historical figure Pooran
Bhagat.
Fascinatingly, the bricks used in the construction of
many of Eminabad's old buildings were sourced from this very mound. In times
past, this mound stood grandly, stretching across a kilometer in radial
distance. However, over the course of a few decades, much of its elevated
terrain has been flattened and repurposed as agricultural fields. Yet, traces
of its former glory persist, with scattered debris and fragments of pottery
dotting certain areas of the land.
Additionally, Eminabad was once graced with the
presence of two other mounds on its outskirts. Sadly, the relentless passage of
time has caused these mounds to fade into obscurity, and only a few individuals
possess knowledge of their precise locations.
