In after years, many rent-free grants of portions of its site were made to Muslims who came in great numbers during the reigns of Babar and Akbar, but these grants were all resumed by the Nawab of Oudh in early 1800s. Before the above mentioned Khaira Pasi's time the place was known as Masichait (Masi chitra), and was a place of pilgrimage so far back as the reign of the great Bikramajit.
