Lalitapuravāla is the name of a locality as mentioned in the “Bhārat Kalā Bhavan of Harirāja” (984 A.D.). Lalitapura is no doubt modern Lalitpur in the Jhansi District, U.P. But whether vāla is the designation of an administrative unit like vishaya or the name of another locality like Lalitapura (the two forming a composite geographical name) is difficult to determine.

This inscribed copper plate (mentioning  Lalitapuravāla) was purchased from a resident of Tikamgarh (formerly Orchha State), now in Madhya Pradesh. It is dated in V.S. 1040 on the occasion of a solar eclipse (corresponding to 30th July 984 A.D.). The grant was made in favour of the Brāhmaṇa Deda who belonged to the Bhāradvāja-gotra, the three pravaras and the Vājasaneya-śākhā.
