immortal hero of the First War of Independence of 1857, 'Awadh Kesari' Rana

Beni Madhav Baksh Singh Ji, I will pay homage to his unparalleled valor,

self-respect, and patriotism at the 'Bhav Samarpan Samaroh' organized in the

revolutionary land of Raebareli. On this occasion, the inauguration of the

newly constructed 'Rana Beni Madhav Baksh Singh Memorial Auditorium' costing
