  2. The various types of bakhars include dynastic history, biographies of kings, history of a sect, descriptions of events, autobiographies, regarding grievance, based on mythologies and state administration by a king.
  3. For e.g. Sabhasad Bakhar is about the rule of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj whereas Bhausahebanchi Bakhar as well as Panipatachi Bakhar describes the Battle of Panipat. Holkaranchi Kaiphiyat is about the Holkars and their contributions to the Maratha rule. Thus, we get information about rulers and their reign through ‘Bakhar’. Therefore, it is an important type of historical documents.

Sohagaura Copper-plate

The copper-plate was found at Sohagaura (District Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh). It is supposed to be from the Mauryan period. The inscription on it is in Brahmi script. The symbols known as ‘Tree-in-railing’ and ‘Mountain’ at the beginning of the inscription also occur on punch marked coins. Another symbol which looks like a structure erected on four pilars is supposed to be indicative of a granary.
