This is the site with inscribed Yasodharman victory pillars (vijayastambha) in Sondani village, southeast of Mandsaur city. This is an ancient site near the famed ancient city of Dasapura or Dasrathor, or just Dasor in pre-14th century Hindu texts (called Mandsaur in Persian and later era texts, also spelled in 19th and 20th century publications as Mandasor, Mandesar, Mundesor, and other phonetic spellings).

The name Dasapura has roots in the ancient city's legendary ten divisions (interconnected hamlets). After the 13th-century, it earned the nickname Manda-Dasor, literally "distressed Dasor", which likely referred to its destruction and ruinous condition. This evolved to just Mandsaur.

Mandsaur and nearby region has been a major source of important inscriptions and artwork from the 2nd to the 14th-century CE. The Sondhni pillars are also called Mandsaur pillars.
