The temple at Katra was sacked by Mahmud Ghaznavi. Over a century later, in 1150 ce a temple was built in its place. The Mathura prasasti of the reign of Vijayapala, dated Samvat 1207 (1150 ce), was found in 1889 ce at the Keshava mound by Anton Fuhrer, German Indologist who worked with the Archaeological Survey of India. The royal charter, in Sanskrit, recorded the foundation of a large temple dedicated to Vishnu at the Katra site.
