History

Kundesar was established by Raja Bhairav Dikshit's eldest grandson, Taluqdar Babu Madhav Rai, in the year 1507 A.D on the bank of river Ganga. [5] [6] In the fifth generation of Raja Mulhan Dikshit, Raja Bhairo Dikshit was the last person who migrated from Sahamadih to Gondaur. There he built a fort. According to genealogical records, Kashyap gotriya 'Kinwar' Dikshit Brahman's warrior family uprooted Cheru tribal rulers from Gadhipuri and the surrounding area after a series of battles fought for Gahadavalas. Dikshit Brahmins and Gahadvalas both came to Kannauj from Dakshinapatha. In an edict of Gahadavala King Chandradeva, it is mentioned that he got hold of Gadhipuri near the holy city of Kashi with the help of Dikshit Brahmin warriors. [7] The leading role of 'Mulhan Dikshit' in the Gahadvala military campaign is described in ‘Sri pothi bansauri’ in detail. [8] As a goodwill gesture Gahadvala King conferred him the title of ‘Raja’ along with a grant of seven hundred villages across Azamgarh, Mau, Ballia and Ghazipur districts. [9] Later on the clan flourished in three main branches i.e. Birpur, Gondaur and Karimuddinpur. [10]
