There are old monuments dating from [[Samvat]] 1400- 1500 in its lands which shows the village to be of<br />
about the same date as Bhuatimbi. The buildings and ruins in the village lands such as [[stepwell]]s, and the remains of a fort with gates, as well as the actual extent of the lands is about 2000 acres, show that it must once have been a large and populous village in past.<ref name="bg"/><br />
