== Etymology ==<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=June 2015}}<br />
According to a local legend, the village was established in 17th century CE, during the period of a sage called Gauri Ram Baba. The legend states that once a king's marriage party stopped at the site to rest during the course of their journey. Gauri Baba was passing by that place. Seeing the marriage party, he told the king about the probability of a Lightning Strike and asked them to move away from the place. As soon as the king's party moved away, the place was struck by lightning. The king was impressed by Gauri Baba and gifted him the site, along with 12 other villages in the vicinity. As a result, the village was named "''bardani''", Hindi for "received in gift". Over time, the name became "Bedani".<br />
