The land was acquired by walking
It is said that the King of Kashi had told Madan Mohan at the time of the establishment of this university that whatever land he would measure by walking in a day, that much land would be donated to the university. After this, Madan Mohan Malviya walked for the whole day and the university got the entire land along with about 11 villages, 70000 trees, 1000 paved houses, 20 kutcha wells, 860 kutcha houses and 40 paved houses. This is the reason why the university campus is so big. It is said that the king of Banaras had also donated a temple and a dharamshala for the construction of BHU.
