Some coins discovered here were attributed to the ancient Audumbara tribe by archaeologists G. B. Sharma and Manmohan Kumar,[2] but later scholars have assigned these to the Mitra rulers including Indramitra.

[3] In 1976, Sharma discovered a seal bearing the Gupta Brahmi legend "Ghvankrum", which may be the ancient name of Ghuram.

[4] According to a local tradition, Kaushalya, the mother of the legendary hero Rama, was born in Ghuram.

[2] After the Ghurid ruler Mu'izz ad-Din defeated the Chahamana king Prithviraja III at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, he placed his general Qutb al-Din Aibak at Ghuram.

[6] According to a legend, when the Sikh leader Guru Gobind Singh was born at Patna, Bhikhan Shah - a Muslim Sufi fakir of Ghuram - had visions of his divinity.
