Bayana

The Bayana Fort was built by Jadaun Rajput ruler Vijaypala in AD 1040.

Between 1195 A.D - 1196 A.D., Mohammad Ghori attacked Bayana in which Ahir Ruler Raja Kumarpala faced the defeat.

In 371-72, the feudatory warlord Kshatriya of Emperor Samudra Gupta erected the Yajna Pillar.

Queen Chitralekha of Fakka dynasty King Laxman San built the Usha Temple under the rule of Emperor Mahipal.

This stone pillar was built by King Vishnu Vardhan at the conclusion of the Pundarik Yajna.

Bayana is located in a small plain, between two hill ranges running more or less parallel to each other near the left bank of the Gambhir river, at a distance of 45 km from Bharatpur.

Bayana city has a temple called 'Usha Mandir', which further establishes its link with Banasur.

As an junction it serves people to major cities like Delhi, Mathura, Kota and Agra etc.

The city was once known for its magnificent architecture but now has lost its beauty due to the negligence of state govt and local municipality bodies.
