History
[edit | edit source]At the turn of the 20th century, Behta Kalan was described as being almost completely surrounded by orchards, with the spire of the Mahadeo temple rising above them.[4] The temple had been built "some years ago" for a cost of Rs. 50,000.[4] The village possessed a post office, a large middle vernacular school, and a small bazar.[4] Its population as of 1901 was 3,565; it was held in taluqdari tenure as part of the Murarmau estate, and at that point was held by the Rana of Khajurgaon.[4]
The 1961 census recorded Behta Kalan as comprising 14 hamlets, with a total population of 3,623 people (1,779 male and 1,844 female), in 652 households and 562 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 1,932 acres and it had a post office at that point.[5] It also had two government-run dispensaries, one for males and one for females, and each one had 6 beds.[5] Typical market attendance was listed at about 200 people.[5]
The 1981 census recorded Behta Kalan as having a population of 4,614 people, in 824 households, and having an area of 790.76 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were listed as wheat and rice.[3]
