Atru is a town in the Baran district in Rajasthan, India.[2] It is a tehsil of Baran around 30 kilometres south of the Baran district.
History
[edit | edit source]A 1257 CE inscription of the Paramara king Jayavarman II was found on the pillar of the Gadgach temple in Atru. The 6-line inscription records the grant of a village to a poet. It is possible that Jayavarman extended the Paramara territories in present-day Rajasthan, resulting in his conflict with the Chahamana rulers of Ranthambore.[3]
Politics
[edit | edit source]The Member of Parliament from Atru is Dushyant Singh, who is a member of the BJP and also the son of ex-Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje.[citation needed]
