== History ==<br />
Keshav Rai, alias Ganesh Rai, the ruler of Lohaganj died in the [[battle of Chandawar]] on behalf of Raja Jaichand against Muhammad Ghori. H sons Nirbhaychand and Abhaychand, along with their mother, went to [[Sialkot]] in [[Punjab]]. Living in secret, the two princes returned to their homeland when they grew up. Around the year 1230, the Gautamvanshi king of Argal was attacked by the Muslim Subedar of Kada, but Gautam Raja defeated him. After some time Gautam Raja's wife went to Gangasnan, where the Muslim Subedar sent his soldiers to capture the queen. Seeing this, the queen shouted that if there is any Rajput here, then protect me. Coincidentally both Bais princes were present. They immediately killed the Muslim soldiers. After rescuing the queen, Nirbhaychand died from multiple wounds, but Abhaychand survived. Abhaychand married Gautam Raja's daughter. Raja gave her 1440 villages in the dowry north of the [[Ganges]], where Abhaychand laid the foundation of Bais state. This Bais state came to be called Baiswada.<ref> {{Cite web |title=Gazetteer of the Province of Oudh, Vol. II-H to M |url=http://indianculture.gov.in/gazettes/gazetteer-province-oudh-vol-ii-h-m-0 |access-date=2023-06-02 |website=INDIAN CULTURE |language=en}}</ref>{{Pages needed|date=February 2025}}<br />
