== History ==<br />
<br />
A 1257 CE inscription of the [[Paramara dynasty|Paramara]] king [[Jayavarman II (Paramara dynasty)|Jayavarman II]] was found on the pillar of the Gadgach temple in Atru. The 6-line inscription records the grant of a village to a poet. It is possible that Jayavarman extended the Paramara territories in present-day Rajasthan, resulting in his conflict with the [[Chahamanas of Ranastambhapura|Chahamana]] rulers of [[Ranthambore Fort|Ranthambore]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Harihar Vitthal Trivedi |title=Inscriptions of the Paramāras (Part 2) |series=Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum Volume VII: Inscriptions of the Paramāras, Chandēllas, Kachchapaghātas, and two minor dynasties |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8B4LAQAAMAAJ |year=1991 |publisher=[[Archaeological Survey of India]] |doi=10.5281/zenodo.1451755 |pages=192–193 }}</ref><br />
