Asni

Asni, also known as Asani, was a fortified place in the lower Doab between the Ganges and the Yamuna. The Gahadavala kings maintained a garrison and treasury here during their rule over the region. After their defeat by the Ghurids in 1194, nearby Kara became the seat of a major province. The fertile country around Asni later passed through the hands of the Jaunpur sultans, the Lodis and the Mughals.
