History
Datani Thikana, situated in the erstwhile princely state of Sirohi in Rajasthan, was a prominent vassal estate held by the noble Deora Chauhan clan, a major branch of the Songara Chauhans. The thikana is historically renowned as the battleground of the famous Battle of Datani fought in 1583 CE, where Maharao Surtan Deora of Sirohi decisively defeated the invading joint forces of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, led by Rao Rai Singh of Bikaner and Jagmal Singh (the estranged brother of Maharana Pratap of Mewar, who lost his life in this conflict). This legendary victory preserved the independence of the Deora Rajputs and established Datani as a symbol of defiant valor and military prowess in the region.
