past of Rataul Rataul is one of the ancient village of Meerut district where Indian culture flourished and flourished. After Harsha, Rashtrakutas, Pratiharas, Gahadwals, Tomars and Chauhans ruled this region. The Gahadwal rulers were called Rathores. Legend has it that the word 'Rathore' itself was a morpheme 'Rataul'. Here too, similar shards of Ravana alias Bada village have been found nearby, due to which it is quite possible that the inhabitants of the same ancient tribe may have built these village-towns. The black paintings on top of Takre Lal are of Harappan culture and wares recovered from the excavations of Kalibangan. Large brown pieces have also been found in these characters. The ornamentation above them is varied and it is indicative of the artistic development of such characters. nb P . Fragments have also been found from which it is estimated that the ancient civilization of Rataul was developing and flourishing till the period of history. During the construction of the house, excavation found a golden spire with beautiful ornamentation on which the roof of the temple rested.

Certainly before Ashoka. There are some symbols on these which are hard to identify clearly. It is clear that the rataul has hidden the remains from the Harappan period to the later medieval period. It is also clear from this that this village has been inhabited and desolate many times. The incident of the Soti (Srotriya) Brahmins going from here to elsewhere is historical in itself, but it is also an important evidence of the antiquity of Rataul. What would have been the name of Rataul in ancient times, it cannot be said, but due to the presence of many temples and the presence of Shrotriya Brahmins, the kind of reputation of Rataul in ancient times can be easily estimated. There will be no difficulty in studying it from the duties and activities of the Shrotriya brahmins. Through Veda-vidya, celibacy and Ishwaropasana, man becomes srotriya (disciple of Veda Vidya) Parameshthi (Samvidhata) and Agni-leader and these qualities are 99.

Being adorned with it, he is called the creator of the era. For attaining the position of Shrotriya, it is necessary to practice Brahma-Ved-Vidya, celibacy and yoga, life-free, a great scholar who has attained Brahm, ascetic Tyagi is a great man who adorns the position of Shrotriya. For attaining the position of Kshatriya one has to study and follow the Vipra Veda, its branch Kalpa - Brahman texts and 6 appendages of the form of Philosophy. The theologians and essayists have divided the brahmins on the basis of karma. According to this, a srotriya brahmin is one who has studied only one Veda and Vedanga and regularly performs the Shatkarmas of the brahmins. Among these deeds are study of Vedas, teaching, pious conduct, not to misrepresent, being afraid of sins, following non-violence, keeping fire in the house, following religious rules, protecting cows and staying away from craving and greed. Due to the abundance of listeners, Rataul must have been a great center for reading and performing Yagya in ancient times. The confirmation of this fact becomes more evident at the time that when we consider their descendants whose ancestors were forced to leave this place by Muslim invaders, in the present times to fulfill their promise (establishment of temple and undertaking to perform Yajna and to do so). But it is only in the year 1954 that the dream of taking food and water from this place came true. Dhruv Rashtrakuta invaded the Ganges-Yamuna doab and in the celebration of his victory, it is said that he gave the Ganga-Yamuna motif in the Empire - Signs (paragraphs) also added. 814 AD Due to the internal strife of the Rashtrakutas after the death of Govind III in the early 2000s, the Pratihara ruler Nagabhatta II was relieved of their danger. The Gwalior inscription shows that Nagabhatta II had established a vast empire, but the importance and power of the Pratihara-kul had been destroyed by the time of the governor's accession around the last decade of the tenth century. After the fall of the Pratihara Empire, there were frequent attacks by Muslims in the Ganges-Yamuna doab. In this way, when the earth was encroached by destructive attacks, then a person named Chandra Dev got up and put an end to the suffering of the subjects through his Vikram. In his inscriptions, Chandra Dev assumed Param Bhattaraka Maharajadhiraja, the emperor of Parameshwara, and called himself a trata of pilgrimage places of Kashi, Uttarkaushal (Faizabad), Jilar Kushik (Kanauj) and Indrasthan (Delhi). • The empire expanded under the rule of Govind Chandra, the famous ruler of the same dynasty, but the Chahamana rulers clashed with his son Vijay Chandra, and the Chahamana ruler Vigraraj Visaldev snatched Delhi and the surrounding region from him. • Vigraharaj IV Bisaldev (1153-64 AD), the Chahamana ruler of Shakambhari,

He captured all the land between the Himalayas and the Vindhyas. Doctor . Harihar Niwas Dwivedi in his well-known book "Tomar of Delhi" has proved that at the time of Prithviraj Chauhan, there was definitely an independent power of Tomars over Delhi. Well-known historian Dr. Raghuveer Singh has also given his support to this view. Although it is not the goal here to write in more detail on this disputed subject, however, it is confirmed by the inscription written on Chahaddev copper plate obtained from Rataul that Chauhan (Chaman) dominated the historical Rataul. From the above facts it becomes clear that Rataul Which is a site of Ganga-Yamuna doab itself, was a village of Ashoka the great, art-loving Guptas, Harsha's empire of Vardhan dynasty and after Harsha the Rashtrakutas, Pratiharas, Gahadavalas and Chauhans were under the suzerainty of Raja Bhoj in the 6th century. and his son Mahendrapala ruled in this region.

The existence of 52 small and one big temple is accepted by both Hindus and Muslims on the legends.

Mohammad Ghori also captured Ajmer and Delhi. At this time the natives of many places left their native places. The same happened in Rataul village also. The cultural heritage of this region was destroyed by Ghori, temples and idols were ruined. The Hindus, especially the Shrotriya Brahmins, opposed this bigotry. He fought whole-heartedly against the Islamists, but without getting any control, before leaving the birth place, took an oath that he would not take back the land occupied by the invaders until he took back his beloved land and built a temple.
