Jawant Singh Rajpurohit| Rajpurohit Warrior |

Jawant Singh Ji Gundehcha (d. c. 1457 CE / Vikram Samvat 1514) was a member of the Gundehcha Rajpurohit lineage and held the position of Sirdar (chieftain) in the village of Utharda, located in the region historically associated with Mewar, Rajasthan, India.

Jawant Singh Ji was a member of the Mada Gundehcha Rajpurohit sub-lineage. The Rajpurohit caste has historically served in advisory, religious, and occasionally military roles in Rajput principalities, including Mewar.

According to community-held oral records, on the day of his wedding, Jawant Singh Ji was involved in a military conflict that broke out near or within the village of Utharda. During the ceremony, an enemy force reportedly launched an attack. He is said to have responded to the attack directly, despite being in wedding attire at the time.

He was killed in the ensuing battle. The specific identity of the attacking group, the size of the conflict, and the details of the battle are not clearly documented in contemporary sources.

A shilalekh (stone inscription) is present in the region, commemorating his death. This serves as a local historical marker acknowledging his role and death during the conflict.

While limited to oral and community tradition, the incident involving Jawant Singh Ji Gundecha has been preserved locally as an example of duty performed under unusual circumstances. Documentation of the event is currently limited to regional historical narratives and family records.
