The Siddhap Rajpurohits trace their ancestral roots to Balochistan, from where they migrated during early medieval times to Siddhpur (Gujarat) — an important spiritual and cultural center. In Siddhpur, they served as Rajpurohits (royal priests) to the Chauhan rulers.
Due to internal disagreements with the Chauhans, the Siddhap ancestors left Siddhpur and migrated to Marwar, Rajasthan, where they came to be known as Siddhap Rajpurohits, a name derived from their former place of service.
Upon settling in Rajasthan, they offered key support to Rathore and Bhati rulers, gaining respect, influence, and land grants in return for their services in both military and administrative roles.
