Shri Nagnechi Mataji



Rao Dhuhad (son of Rao Asthan) once attacked on “Godyana” near Kannoj to get his old state back from Mugals but he could not success in that. On his return he brought his kuldevi “Chakreshwari’s” statue from Karnat and established under a tree of Neem (Scientific Name - Azadirachta indica) in Nagana village. Because of this all Rathores worship Neem as well. A holy tree for Rathores. Because of the name of village(Nagana), kuldevi Chakreshwari is well known by the name Nagnechiya Maa.

In V.S. 1192 Kharhatsingh Rathore was the ruler of Chanderi. He had 4 sons, named Ambdeo, Nimbdeo, Bhesashah, and Aaspal. Once Chanderi was looted by Mohammedan dacoits.

Raja Kharhatsingh return the wealth to the owner, even then a lot of wealth remain behind. That fight was monetary that war was much more profitable but all the four brothers were wounded seriously. They were not cured even after many treatments.










By chance Acharya Jindutt Suri came in the city of Chendary. The Raja Kharhatsingh requested the Acharya to do some thing for the princes. Acharya poured some water on the princes and they all became well. The entire kingdom was over delighted. The royal family was so much impressed that they all adopted the Jainism and became Oswals.

One day the eldest prince handcuffed the thieves and came to the city so he and his family was named CHORADIA. Sohanraj Bhansali says that Kharhatsingh belonged to village Chordia so they were named Choradia. Yet today village Choradia is on Jodhpur - Jaisalmer road

One-day jeweler came in the Chandrasen's court to sell a precious diamond. The diamond looked so precious and attractive so the king desired to purchase that but Passuji requested to have a look. Passuji immediately told that no doubt the diamond was precious but it has bad omens. On enquiring he replied that the family of the holder of the diamond would not prosperous, no female would remain alive. The Johari replied that he had not seen such a brilient Johari in his life; he was also selling such a precious diamond only because he had lost his wife as soon as he purchased that. The king was so impressed that he honored Passuji with the title PARAKH, and it became the gotra.

GULGULA :- Gulraj was a famous person in Kuwarji's family. He used to distribute Gulgula to the children so pubic named him Gulgula seth. Hence it became the gotra.
