Gahmar

Gahmar was settled by Sakarwar Rajputs, the descendants of Dham Deo Sikarwar who came from the vicinity of Fatehpur Sikri after Babur captured it in 1527 AD. They are closely related to Sakarwar Bhumihars and Kamsar Pathan, the descendants of Dham Deo Sikarwar's brother Kam Deo. After moving east from Fatehpur Sikri, initially, both of them settled in Gahmar, but due to floods, Dham Deo migrated to Maa Kamakhya Dham near Gahmar and Kam Deo settled in Reotipur.[3]
