The fort under this place was actually founded by a "Raja Ror", who is said to have been the son of "Khangar". There is a tradition preserved in the neighborhood about a "white crow" or ''kag'', in consequence of the appearance of which as an omen of augury Raja Ror built a fort here.

The image of a warrior was found at the site of Kaga Ror or Kagarol by Carlleyle, who goes on to say in his report that:<ref>Pages 210–212, Archaeological Survey of India, Report for the year 1871–72, Volume IV, Agra circle covered by A. C. L. Carlleyle, Under the supervision of Alexander Cunningham</ref>

{{quote|The features of the face are fine and manly, of the handsomest Hindu type. The warrior has his right knee raised; on his right arm he presents a shield in defense and in the left hand he brandishes a straight sword of huge dimensions over his head. In a belt round his waist he wears a dagger with a cross-shaped hilt at his left side. The hair of the head is full but drawn back in straight lines on the head.}}
