Ahar, Rajasthan

[4] Ahar (Āghāṭapura) seems to have been one of the most important commercial centres in early medieval Rajasthan.

This last group (merchants from outside Rajasthan) probably moved from one commercial centre to the next in periodic cycles as part of well-organised caravans.

The merchandise all these various traders dealt in included (based on the 953 source) unspecified agricultural produce, oil, confectionery, and expensive animals like horses and elephants.

In addition, while no other prominent commercial centres are known to have existed in the Ahar area during this time, a comparison with other important centres like Arthuna indicates that there was likely a cluster of smaller commercial settlements around Ahar.
