Description:

The city was founded in the late 6th century by the Rishabh dynasty, and was known as the 'city of elephants' because of the many elephants that lived there. The city was sacked by the Mughals in 1526, and by the Marathas in 1739. The city was finally captured by the British in 1818. The name 'Dardhpur' is also used as a surname.
