Royal Horse Artillery fleeing from Afghan attack at the Battle of Maiwand, painting by Richard Caton Woodville (1883)
Maiwand is a village in Afghanistan within the Maywand District of Kandahar Province. It is located 50 miles northwest of Kandahar, on the main Kandahar–Lashkargah road.[1][2]
The area is irrigated by the Helmand and Arghandab Valley Authority.[3]
Maiwand is the birthplace of the 13th-century Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar.[4]
The village is notable for the Battle of Maiwand, which took place on July 27, 1880, during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Ayub Khan together with Malalai Anaa defeated a British brigade under General Burrows.[5] The British commemorated the battle with the Maiwand Lion sculpture at Forbury Gardens in England.
