History
It is an ancient village near Harsh and is associated with the early history of Chauhans. The ruins of Harsh indicate its antiquity. Local tradition reveals that Harshanatha village in ancient times was a well developed township surrounded by a wall. A hindi poem reveals as under[1]:
- जगमालपुरा हर्ष नगरी,
- बोम तालाब छतरी,
- एक बाजार मंडी गुदड़ी,
From one other source we get following poem prevalent in the area:[2]:
- जगमालपुरा हर्षनगरी,
- जीमै हाठ हजार मढ़ै गुदड़ी,
- बमै तालाब बड़ी छतरी ।
It is said that in space between the big tank of Harsh and Jagmalpura tomb was a market place. There were 900 wells. The old city was spread over about 38 miles and constituted of four villages, namely
- Katrathal, which was Katala Bazar,
- Kasali which was founded by Kasania Jat people,
- Bajor which was market and
- Jagmalpura which was a weekly market place or gudari.

Rewasa, Kasli and Raghunathgarh in Sikar were under Chandels. Chandels were Chandravanshi Kshatriyas. They had a big state in Jetubhukti and had a war with Prithviraj Chauhan and were defeated. An inscription of Chandels was found at (Raghunathgarh of v.s. 1150 (1093 AD). Three inscriptions of year v.s. 1243 (1186 AD) were found at Rewasa.
