History
According to the (Budaun District, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh) mythological stories, Budaun was named after prince Budh Ahir. The local tradition regarding this city is that it was founded in 905 A.D. by a prince whose name was Budh and after whom it was called Budaun. The ruins of Prasidh (a town on the Ramganga) and the coins discovered at Pachoma near Bareilly point to the existence of an Ahir dynasty around the borders of Badaun and Bareilly in the distant past. An inscription, probably of the 12th century, gives a list of twelve Rathore kings reigning at Budaun then called Vodamāyuta. Kanauj was conquered after 1085 by Mahmūd, the son of the Ghaznavid Sultān, driving out the Rāshtrakūta chief. This the Rāshtrakūta chief then move their capital to Vodamāyuta, where they ruled until conquered by Qutb-ud-din Aibak.
