Origins

and a university by the same name.

Raja Kanak Sen of Vallabhi

Vallabhi was the name of Kanak sen's queen and mother of four of his sons Chander Sen, Raghav Sen, Dhir Sen and Bir Sen who later established Bir Nagar in his name. Present day Chittor was also called Bir Nagar in those days.

When their capital was invaded by Hunnic raiders the pregnant queen, Pushpavati, a Paramara princess, escaped their clutches because she was away on a pilgrimage. The queen gave birth to a baby boy, Guhil (Guha - cave born), in a cave in the mountains of Mallia and left him in the hands of Kamalavati, a Brahmin lady from Birnagar. The queen then committed sati (a widow’s self immolation on her husband’s funeral pyre).

Raja Guhil

Guhil grew up among the tribal Bhils and in 568 AD, when he was 11, became their chieftain. Guhil also founded a new clan known as the Gehlot, who derived their name from their founder. Guhil was succeeded by his son Raja Bhoja and he was succeeded by his son Mahendra I whose son was Nagaditya.

Raja Nagaditya at Nagda

In the 7th century they moved north to the plains of Mewar and settled in the area around Nagda. Nagda (Nagagraha) is a small town around 25 km from Udaipur and was named after Nagaditya, the fourth ruler from Guhil.

Nagaditya was followed by Siladitya (646 AD), whose son was Aparajit (661 AD) who was succeeded by Mahendra II who was accidentally killed by a Bhil in 734 AD, and thus the three-year-old Kalbhoj became king, who later came to be known as Bappa Rawal

(Bappa meaning father or elderly figure in local language and Rawal a title of the Kshatriya caste).

Raja Kalbhoj or Bappa Rawal at Chittor

The Sisodias trace their descent from Bappa Rawal who conquered Chittor from a ruler of the Mori Dynasty and established Mewar], the scion of the Guhilot or Guhila or Gehlot or Gahlot clan, who established himself as ruler of Mewar

Mewar

in 734 AD, ruling from the fortress of Chittor (or Chittorgarh).

Bappa grew up with his single mother, working as a cowherd in the town of Kailashpuri (now Eklingji

Eklingji

Eklingji is a Hindu temple complex in Udaipur District of Rajasthan in western India. Eklingji is believed to be the Ruling deity of Mewar Princely State and the Ruler Maharana rules as his Dewan....

) When he was 15, Bappa came to know that he was the nephew of the Mori ruler of Chittor who had been ousted by the ruler of Malwa. He left Kailashpuri, went to the fortress city of Chittor and snatched his kingdom back from the prince of Malwa, Man Singh Mori. These details are not historically authenticated and can be seen as an example of the Hegemony of Discourse, whereby just because they happened to be territorial feudal lords, & wielded political power - a contrary narrative is not found in evidence.

Chittor remained the capital of the Sisodias till it was sacked by the Mughal Emperor, Akbar in 1568.

Rulers at Chittor

Prince Khoman followed Bappa and Khoman II was grandson of Khoman. They led various expeditions against invaders. Important was expedition in 812 AD uniting Rajputs and throwing the armies of Harun-al-Rashid from India and Sind. He was involved in series of battles and led armies to victory after victory culminating in 812 AD when the invaders were finally thrown out. This led to a time of peace till 100 years later Md Gazni came into picture.

Rana Samar Singh (Samarsi) was married to princess Pritha of Ajmer, sister of Prithviraj Chauhan. He was killed at the Battle of Ghaggar during the defeat of the Hindu confederacy under Prithviraj Chauhan at the hands of Md Shamshuddin Ghori in 1193 AD.

, where they were known as Aharya. They maintained this title until they relocated to Sisoda. Sisoda was used as a name when a prince of Chittor built the town right where he had killed a hare (Susso). Since then the clan has retained the title of Sisodia. However, another version says that the dynasty was so named from the word sisa or lead. It is said that a prince of the dynasty was accidentally made to eat a medication with pigeon blood when he had given up meat-eating. The Sisodias are staunch followers of the Hindu faith where being a Satvik is very serious business. When the prince realised his folly he chose to atone for his blunder by swallowing molten lead (sisa).

Rana Hammir's recapture of Chittor

Rana Hamir Singh (1326–1364) recaptured Chittaurgarh in 1326, and was the first ruler of the clan to use the royal title of "Rana." He changed the family name to Sisodia, derived from Sisoda, the name of the village where he was born. Rana Kumbha (1433–1468) expanded the kingdom and established a system of forts to secure its boundaries. He made Mewar the most powerful Rajput state of the period. Rana Sanga

Guhils of Khergarh

A second branch of Gohils who also were the descendants of Bappa Rawal ruled Khergarh in Marwar. They were displaced by the combined forces of the Rathores and Sodhas and were forced to migrate to present day Gujarat under the leadership of Sejakji. After building various alliances with the local Solanki and Raijada rulers and displacing some of the local Kathi and Mer rulers.

Sejakji established a kingdom in eastern Kathiawar. Sejakji's descendants managed to hold a precarious hold over their newly acquired territory under constant pressure from the local Kathis and the Muslim Sultanate of Gujrat initially. During later years they had to also face hostilities from the Nawab of Junagadh and the Marathas which resulted in many armed conflicts. Many of these descendants of Sejakji perished in the almost constant state of warfare that existed in the turbulent and violent Eastern Kathiawar of those days.They had to frequently shift capitals starting from Sejakpur to Ranpur, Ghogha, Shihor and finally Bhavnagar due to land constantly changing hands during hostilities. However in spite of the tremendous odds stacked against them they kept expanding by conquering Kathi territories and gained wealth and prominence by raiding the territories of the Sultanate of Gujrat. They frequently plundered the ships of the Delhi Sultans that plied the Gulf of Khambat.

Sejakji's grandson Mokhdaji became famous as a plunderer of Mohammad Tugluq's fleet. The Gohils eventually founded the State of Bhavnagar also known as Gohilwar. One of Mokhdaji's sons inherited Rajpipla

The Sisodia flag

The Mewar flag is distinguished for its "crimson" flag. During times of war and peace, this standard could always be seen flying high. It depicts the image of a dagger and a flaming sun. Robert Taylor of the Bengal Civil Service records in his book, "The Princely Armory", "...for eight centuries a golden sun in a crimson field has floated over the head of the Rana at feast and fray, and is conspicuous in the ornament of his palace...On the top of the mast is the face of the Sun, embossed in gold. On the triangular Nishan (flag), the human face is embroidered in gold depicting the Sun. It has a gold tassle at the end. A Katar (a type of dagger) with silver threads on the Nishan completes this simple design. The Sun signifies that the Nishan is of the "Surya Vansi" (Sun Dynasty) Maharanas of Mewar. The Katar is the emblem of independence....the colour of the Nishan (flag) is Saffron and the mast is red."
