  • In the 1830s, the British swept through India to eradicate the Thuggee and around 1837 destroyed a Kali temple in Pankot, killing more than three hundred of the cult's followers, including their priests. The cult was widely thought to have been wiped out but the Thuggee survived in small pockets. In 1850, the Principality of Pankot ceased to exist as a political entity and eventually became the Princely State of Pankot Province, while the decade also saw the foundation of a small village in Mayapore which was said to have been created for the express purpose of watching for signs of a resurgence in cult activity. In part fearful of the display the British showed in attacking the Kali temple, Pankot stayed loyal to Crown in the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857—1858, during which the palace housed British refugees from Delhi. Though forces of the rebellion laid siege to the palace in the spring of 1857, it was alleged that a counterattack was launched from secret catacombs beneath Pankot Palace which sent the attackers away to look for an easier target.
