History

Bhairamgarh has three or four temples, together with remains of a fort and a ditch and several tanks. There is an inscription on a pillar, and at Potanar, a village near Bhairamgarh, there is a slab inscribed on four sides. This has now been removed to a roadside place called Jangla, six miles north of Potinar, for easy access.

The Bhairamgarh inscription contains birudas similar to those found in the Barsur one, and the king is stated in both to be the worshipper of Manikyadevi (Sri-Māṇikyadevi-divya-sripāda-padm-ārādhaka:श्री-माणिक्यदेवी-दिव्य-श्रीपाद-आराधक), which is an older name of Dantesvari, so named by the successors of the Nagavamsis, the Kakatiyas, although the latter claim that Dantesvari came with them from Warangal, where she was called Manikyesvari.¹ This inscription is incomplete and it appears that it was never completed.
