History
In ancient times, the tribal Mewas (power) of the people of Lakewal and Saturn people in Barwada, in the village of Sikrai tahsil of Dausa in ancient times, used to challenge the power of Rajputa. Even today, the ruins of ancient Makkahan can be seen on the hills of Barwanda. Because the Sardar of this tribal tribe established his power in a rugged forest, he was identified as Satwan (who established power in the forest). There was a cave in the hill where the Sutvans lived, where they have their place of Kuldevi. It is said whenever whenever the sages went out to fight with someone, they would take blessings from their Kuldev. This led him to be at the highest peak and his victory was ensured in every battle, so he was successful in defeating his enemies by the glory of his goddess, so he started addressing his Devi as Baraira Mata (Bhairai). And the name of this kingdom was derived from the name of Devi.
