The first prince of Karauli, whose existence is a bit certain, was Dharmapala I
c. 800. The seat of the government was at first Bajana; after that town was
conquered by Mahmud of Ghur, the seat was in Tahangarh, which was also taken by
the Muslims in 1196, and then the seat moved to Karauli. The banner of
the family is dark-yellow (gold).
