According to the details obtained in the excavation, there is a style of making a mandap in the middle and a wall on the left and right. The meeting room and Naula are unique. He said that another team of the Department of Archeology will conduct further studies in an effort to include Ajaymeru Kot in the World Heritage List.

As the importance of Ajaymeru Kot protection is increasing, the local level has requested more budget and necessary support from the federal and provincial governments, says Umesh Bhatt, Chairman of Ajaymeru Rural Municipality.

Establishment of Ajaymerukot Legend has it that in the latter half of the 13th century, two brothers Rajkumar Sahastrapal and Nirayadeva Pal of the Katyuri dynasty fought against the Sinja kingdom and established Kot as an independent state. Ekthari also says that this coat was built by King Nagi Malla . However, the evidence confirms that this coat was built by Pal Raja of Katyuri descent . It is said that Ajaymerukot became known as the coat of arms of Nagi Malla only after Nagi Malla of the Raca dynasty captured Ajaimeru in 1441. King Nirayapaladeva's copperplates and inscriptions dating back to 1419 are found in this place. 

Ajaymerukot is scattered with historical objects including the ruins of the ancient palace, Naula, Deval, Birkhamb, artistic ceiling, meeting place of the king . Currently, out of the three naulas in Ajaymeru, there are only the ruins of two naulas . A well is being used to drink water . The artistic idols carved on the stone wall and naula reflect the ancient architecture .

The hill where the main palace of Ajmerukot is is surrounded by a gad (river). It takes 15-20 minutes to climb from the bottom of the hill to the top of the coat. On top of the crested hill, the palace and the haveli where the king's brothers used to live are seen as ruins . The structure of the palace is all in a state of collapse. It is said that the main palace had seven floors when it was built. From the topmost floor, the temple of Kuldevi Jagdamba Bhagwati of the Katyuri dynasty, built by the Katyuri king in Uttarakhand, was visited and offered water.
