The Rajput king of this place had been honoring his commander-in-law for centuries by appointing only his son's mother (Dhanabhai). Which was essentially a Gurjar caste. Such a relationship of Rajput kings is a unique and different tradition of the entire Rajputana and Central India and in the Rajput states of Uttar Pradesh, it surprises the history scholars.
The famous ruler of this place, Rao Raja Anirudh Singh, commemorated his Dhabhai Deva in 1683 AD. In the construction of a memorial called Chhatri of eighty-four pillars at the entrance of Bandi Nagar, it not only presented another record of traditional harmony but also earned the credit of informing future generations in the soft artistic interest of the people of this plateau region.
