The rulers of Bhadawar commissioned the construction of the Ater Fort, situated near Bhind, which later also served as their ruling seat.
The Badhauria Rajputs mostly worship the Shiva (the destroyer), Surya (the sun god), and Durga (the mother goddess).
Thus the boundaries of the estate extended up to Gwalior in the South, Dholpur in the West, Mathura, Agra and Etawah in the North and parts of Kanpur in the East.
