History
Jalna (formerly Jalnapur) is one example. Like Aurangabad's predecessor, Khirki, prior to the Mughal conquests Jalna had been ruled by the Ahmadnagar Sultanate, during whose reign their governor Jamshid Khan built a mosque Kali Masjid, travellers' sara’i, and a reservoir in around 1557. The town was
taken by the Mughals during the reign of Akbar, and during the reigns of Aurangzeb and Nizam-ul-Mulk, Asaf Jah I, it saw numerous improvements to its civic and military infrastructure, its fort (Jalna Fort or Mastgad) being constructed in 1725 in response to Maratha incursions.
Jalna is home to many religions and people from different backgrounds. One of the main religions being Hinduism, there is also a large Muslim population. The other religions in Jalna include Buddhism, Jainism and Christianity.
