Kanswa

Kanswa, also spelled Kansua, is a village in the Kota district of Rajasthan, India. It is of archaeological importance. It is the site where James Tod found an inscription in 1820 AD that reveals the rule of the Jat king Maharaja Shalinder in Kota region in 5th century AD.

The Dabok stone inscription, dating back to Gupta Samvat 407 (circa 725 AD), records events during the reign of Dhavalappadeva. This ruler is likely identified with Dhavala, a prince from the Maurya dynasty mentioned in the Kanswa inscription of Vikrama Samvat 795 (738 AD).
