## History

[edit]

Narlai is identified with the place called Nāḍūlaḍāgikā mentioned in two Chāhamāna-era inscriptions, one from 1138 and the other from 1145. These seem to indicate that Narlai functioned as some sort of commercial centre during that period, and mention some sort of fee being levied on bulls laden with merchants' goods. During this period, Narlai was part of a cluster of trade centres under Chāhamāna rule in what is now south-central Rajasthan. The others known from contemporary sources were Nadol, Dhalopa, Sevadi, and Badari.[4]: 97, 100

On 15 June 1680, Tahawwur Khan, the general of Aurangzeb, was defeated here by the combined force of Rathores and Sisodia Rajputs.[5]
