!Hasanpura Hasanpura is in Siwan district of Bihar in India. This village is situated at about 21 km south of Siwan on the bank of Dhanai river. It is famous as a religious place visited by a large number of Muslims and Hindus. According to tradition, Makhdum Saiyed Hasan Chisti, a saint who came from Arabia to India and settled here, founded this village. He also founded a Khankah (religious institution) here. Remains of a large mosque and tomb of the Saint is also here, which is visited by both Hindus and Muslims. The grave is a large open court to the west of the village. In front of the open court there is a basalt image of Vishnu but it has been ruthlessly treated. It is regarded as an inauspicious fiend who has turned into stone by the holy Makdum and must not be raised or placed erect. It contains no inscription but its style shows it to belong to about the seventh century A.D.
