Bawani Khera is a town and municipal committee in the Bhiwani district of the Indian state of Haryana.[1]
Early medieval period
History of town dates back to at least the 1st century, as evidenced by the discovery of 31 x 22 x 5 cm bricks, found during excavation of a mound at Bawani Khera that belong to the Kushan-Gupta Empires era (1st - 6th centuries).[2]
Late medieval era
According to the oral tradition of the present inhabitants, the town has been continuously inhabited by their ancestors for the last 700 years. Among the ancient sites are the deras of Naths and Dadupanthis. The Dera of Naths founded by Mahant Bali Nath is older and even predates the village. The Dera of Naths also has a 3 centuries old Shivalaya called Shri Gauri Shankar mandir.[2]
