Bahirhatta (near Balia, Ranhtali and Chak Alash) is 3 miles north of Pandua, may be the site of the fort of Ekdala. The entire area of the fortified city of Ekdala probably covered 6.5 miles X 6.5 miles. Vestiges of this extensive fortification, save and except some old tanks and heavily worn out brick-paved roads or lanes are difficult to be located in and around Bahirhatta now-a-days.
