Rasisar
Rasisar (also known as Raysisar in historical books) is an ancient village with a rich historical legacy. It was originally under the influence of the Chauhan dynasty. However, the region later came under the control of the Sankhla clan, with the village being founded by Raysi Sankhla, a former king of Jangloo.
The Sankhlas established their rule over Rasisar, shaping its early development and culture. In a later period, the village was granted by Maharaja Jorawar Singh Ji to Kanot Lunkarn Jagramot, the son of Veer Jagram Ji, marking a significant transition in its administrative and familial lineage.
It is renowned for its connection to the royal lineage and the jagirdari system of the Bikaner princely state during the 18th century.
The village of Rasisar became historically important following the Battle of Bikaner in 1740 CE, during which a noble and loyal warrior, Veer Jagram Ji Harnathoth, laid down his life while defending the kingdom. At the time of his death, his wife was six months pregnant, leaving behind an unborn child and a grieving household.
In recognition of Jagram Ji’s valor and ultimate sacrifice, Maharaja Zorawar Singh of Bikaner (1736-46) conferred a land grant of 6,000 bighas to Jagram Ji’s lineage. The grant was given to his son, Lunkarn Singh, who was born posthumously and inherited both the legacy and the responsibilities of his noble father.
With the land grant, Rasisar became the ancestral seat of Lunkarn Singh, who was raised with honor and dignity in memory of his father’s service. The Purohit family of Rasisar maintained a respected position in regional affairs, continuing their involvement in the socio-political framework of the Bikaner princely state.
The story of Rasisar is not only one of royal patronage but also a tale of sacrifice, resilience, and the enduring legacy of honor passed from father to son under extraordinary circumstances.
