The Jats as a dominant agriculturist community operating in the north and north-western parts of the Indian Subcontinent, which on account of their natural and human resources and location played a crucial role in the political fortunes of the country. Similarly impact of the growth of Jat movement in particular their militarization in Braj region had implications far beyond the region itself.

The Jat rulers were persons with vision who established not only socio-economic-politico structures but also left an everlasting legacy in the form of art and architecture. The monuments constructed by them are a reflection of their personal traits as well as their clan and society.
