India history and geography
Source: Jainworld: Jain History (h)Harasaur (हरसौर्) is situated between Pushkar and Degānā in the District of Nagaur, and its early name seems to be Harṣapura. Jainism prospered here under the Chauhāna rulers. Siddhasenasūri mentions this town in his Sakaltīrtha Stotra. Harṣapura-gaccha a branch of Śrī Pārśvanātha Kula, originated probably from this place. Some Jaina Ācāryas of this gaccha were very powerful, and they had a great influence over their contemporary rulers. The name of this Gaccha is mentioned in the inscription of 1496 A.D. found at Nagaur. A Jaina stone image with the inscription of 996 A.D. has been also discovered. One of the Mahājana castes named Harasaurā originated from this place.
