Junjhar Karam Singh Ji Jagarwal | Rajpurohit Encyclopedia Profile

In Vikram Samvat 1662, a remarkable tale of bravery and sacrifice was etched into the pages of history. Karam Singh Ji Jagarwal, the eldest son of Dhol Singh Ji Jagarwal (founder of the Thikana Dhola Purohitan), stood as a protector of righteousness and the sanctity of life.

When the Mughals seized cows from Chanchodi and the surrounding villages, the villagers were terrified. But Karam Singh Ji, with the blood of warriors flowing through his veins, could not bear to witness such injustice. With unwavering courage, he mounted his horse and, accompanied by a few loyal warriors, set out in pursuit of the Mughals. The chase led them to the village of Dhumda, where they surrounded the Mughal soldiers and a fierce battle began.

Amid the chaos of battle, a Mughal soldier attacked from behind and beheaded Karam Singh Ji. Yet, with unmatched strength and unwavering determination, his body did not fall. Even without a head, his torso continued to wield the sword, cutting down every enemy in his path. His sacred duty — to protect dharma and rescue the cows — became his divine mission, no matter the cost.

One by one, the Mughal soldiers fell before his headless body. After freeing all the cows, his body — as if powered by divine energy — led the cattle back to the village of Dhola. The villagers, astonished by the miraculous sight, bore witness to his legendary bravery and heroic spirit.

At the village Chohata (central square), near the Shri Charbhuja temple, Karam Singh Ji’s body took its final rest, and his immortal saga was written.

To honor his unparalleled valor and sacrifice, the villagers erected a statue at the very spot where he attained martyrdom — a lasting tribute to his glory.
