History
Budhi Thikana, situated in the historic Marwar region of Rajasthan, was a prominent estate (thikana) ruled by the Rathore clan, functioning as a vassal state to the princely state of Jodhpur. Established by the descendants of the ruling family of Marwar, the thikana played a vital role in the feudal military structure of the region, contributing brave warriors to the campaigns of the Maharaja of Jodhpur during periods of Mughal hegemony and subsequent Maratha incursions. The rulers of Budhi maintained local administrative autonomy, fostered agricultural development, and preserved traditional Rajput culture until the estate's integration into the modern state of Rajasthan following India's independence in 1949. More details on the administrative divisions of this region can be explored through the official Government of Rajasthan portal.
