History

Dayar (दायर), originally Tunwar Rajputs till 995 Sambat : the legend is that Anangpal had given his daughter in marriage to Kalu Raja of Dharanagar, but her husband gave her vessels for her separate use, and she complained to her father. Anangpal would have attacked his son-in-law but his nobles dissuaded him, and so he treacherously invited Kalu to his second daughter's wedding. Kalu came with his four brothers, Parmar, Nil, Bhawan and Jagpal, but they learnt of the plot and fled to the Ahirs, from whom Kdlu took a bride and thus founded the Dāyar got.
