Maharaja Gopalsaran was the king of this area in British times.

In South Bihar, the representative of several communities was the Tekari family, whose great estate, Tekari Raj, in Gaya, dates back to the early 18th century.

The royal emblem of the Kingdom of Tekari was a pigeon attacking over an eagle sat on the perch of a tree.

(Tekari used to be a popular place name during the Muslim period).

Maharaja Hit Narayan Singh of Tekari was said to have been "a man of a religious turn of mind... who became an ascetic and left his vast property in the hands of his wife" shortly after inheriting much of the estate in the 1840s.
