History

identified Bhusawar with the Vusāvaṭa mentioned in an inscription from nearby Bayana dated to 8 January 955. The inscription records that a woman named Chittralekhā founded a temple to Vishnu at an unspecified location and endowed it with certain revenue grants for its upkeep. Among these revenue grants was a sum of three drammas from the maṇḍapikā in Vusāvaṭa, possibly collected as an octroi fee on every horse-load of goods brought to the town's marketplace.
