History

Raja Nityapal, a remote ancestor of the family, left Ajudhia and took possession of Kathiawar in Gujerat but Raja Sadasen had, after some time, to leave Kathia- war and migrate to Benares where he founded a principality of his own and he and his descendants ruled over the territory for several centuries. They were called Katharya Rajputs as they had come from Kathiawar. During the Mahomedan period the family, owing to special deeds of loyalty, obtained from the Kings several jagirs and other privileges some of which are still enjoyed by the members. The village Madhkar was granted to Rajas Bhawani Singh and Harhar Singh by Shah Alam Ghazi. Raja Pirthi Singh, brother of Rao Raghuraj Singh still lives at this village.
