Chadwas Jagir was originally granted to Rajpurohit Mulraj Ji by Rao Ganga of Marwar. However, the formal Tamrapatra (Copper Plate Grant) was issued in the name of Mulraj Ji by his successor Rao Maldeo — confirming its hereditary and official status within the Marwar state records.

Mulraj Ji later assigned Chadwas to his second eldest son, Maheshdas Ji Mulrajot, thus establishing a direct line of Chadwas Rajpurohit jagirdars from the Mulrajot lineage.

Chadwas is distinct for its four historic pols (gateways):

• Badi Pol

• Pakodi Pol – constructed like a fortified Kot with Kanguras (battlements), which are rare among village jagirs.

• Jalki Pol

• Dhanawato ri Pol – home to a 200-year-old Kotdi, now known as the Bungalow, a fine example of fortified residential structure.

Chadwas holds deep spiritual importance with numerous temples and sacred spaces:

• Charbhuja Ji Temple – ancient temple recently renovated, dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

• Mahadev Ji, Shani Dev, and Hanuman Ji Temples – located on the banks of the historic Shiv Sarovar, the large central pond of the village.

• Kripadas Ji Maharaj Temple – dedicated to the revered Rajpurohit saint, a spiritual figure followed in the region.

• Pabuji Rathore Temple – actively worshipped, especially by families of Dhanawato ri Pol and Badi Pol, with Jagran and events held on Pabu Dashmi each year.

Chadwas is home to dozens of Devlis (memorial stones) — commemorating Rajpurohit Jhujhars and Satis who sacrificed their lives in defense of dharma, land, and honor. Among them:

• A dedicated Temple of Suraj Singh Ji Jhujhar, a legendary warrior known for unmatched bravery.

  • His sword is still preserved, symbolizing his martial legacy and reverence in local lore.

These Devlis are located around the Talab ri Pol and along the banks of Shiv Sarovar, forming a historical memorial complex.

Among the famed figures of Chadwas is Shiv Singh Ji Rajpurohit, one of the most successful businessmen from the Rajpurohit community in Bewar, who earned the title of Seth for his contributions and wealth.

Even in the modern era, Rajpurohits from Chadwas are leading in business, education, governance, administration, religious leadership, and social reform, continuing the legacy of excellence laid down by their ancestors.

Thikana Chadwas is not merely a jagir — it is a living chronicle of heritage, heroism, devotion, and dharma. From fortified pols to sacred temples, from commemorative devlis to brave martyrs, Chadwas remains a timeless emblem of Rajpurohit valor, service, and spiritual depth.
