Ancient Village in India
Ahar is located at a distance of 3 kilometers from the City Palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan, . Ahar has had several names in the past such as Aghatpur, Ahad, Aitpoor, Anandpura or Gangodbhav Tirtha. Historians say that the Ahar town was founded around 950CE by Rawal Allat of Mewar. He built the city on the ruins of the Harappan site of Tambavati Nagri, the city of the ancestors of King Vikramaditya before he shifted to Ujjain. It is also said that Ahar was the ancient capital of Mewar, the residence of the Gehlot rulers later known as the Sisodias, ancestors of the present Ranas.
The excavations done at Ahar Udaipur by the Archaeological Department of the State have revealed the remains of the Chalcolithic era of Rajasthan dating back to nearly 3750 years. Ancient temples, sculptures, coins, pottery and mounds from the ashes of volcanic eruptions are also found in abundance here at Ahar.
