Origin

The rulers of Karauli belonged to Yaduvanshi Jadaun clan of Rajputs, a branch of the Chandravanshi dynasty (Lunar dynasty).[6][7] They claim descent from Lord Krishna. It is believed that Raja Arjunpal founded Karauli in the year 1348. Karauli city was the capital while Mandrayal or Mandrail was another important town of the Yaduvanshi Rajput rulers. [8]

The other founder of the dynasty is believed to be Raja Vijaypal who came from Mathura and founded the fort of Bayana in 1040. Vijaypal also came into conflict with the Ghaznavid tribes during his reign.[9] Raja Timanpal (r.1093-1159) was an important ruler of the dynasty, he extended his domain by conquering the territories of modern day Dang, Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur, Gurgaon, Mathura, Agra and Gwalior.[10]

  9. ↑ Although, the Jadon Rajputs claim their origin from Lord Krishna, but the dynasty became more popular at the time of Muhammad Ghori and his successor Iltutmish. In the eleventh century, an influential Rajput named Vijay Pal, the descendant of Dharam Pal of around 800 AD (the introducer of the term Pala and the 77th descent from the Lord Krishna), established as king of Bayana and also founded a new city Vijaymandgarh or Vijaygarh. He was the first claimant of Jadon Rajput family and also claimed that he was the 88th descendant of Lord Krishna, the ruler of the country known as Braj around Mathura. An inscription bearing his name still exists on one of the Hindu pillars of a mosque in the Bahari-Bhitari-Mohalla in the town of Bayana., Aijaz Ahmad (2020-01-01). Cultural Heritage of Mewat.
