=Ahar, Udaipur =

Village in the State of Udaipur, Rajputana, situated in
24 degree 35' N. and 73 degree 44' E., on the banks of a stream of the same name
about two miles east of Udaipur city. Population (1901), 982. The
village contains a small mission school attended by 35 pupils, but is
chiefly noteworthy as possessing the Mahasati or group of cenotaphs of
the chiefs of Mewar since they left Chitor. That of Rana Amar Singh II
is the most conspicuous, but almost all are elegant structures. To the
east are the remains of an ancient city which, according to tradition,
was founded by Asaditya on the site of a still more ancient place,
Tambavati Nagri, where dwelt the Tonwar ancestors of Vikramaditya
before he obtained Ujjain.

The name was changed first to Anandpur
and afterwards to Ahar. The ruins are known as Dhul Kot (' the fort
of ashes '), and four inscriptions of the tenth century and a number
of coins have been discovered in them. Some ancient Jain temples are
still to be traced ; also the remains of an old Hindu temple, the outside
of which still shows excellent carving.
