Khakhara Khera

Khakhara Khera Thikana is a historical estate of the Jhala Rajput clan, which originated as a cadet branch of the prominent Jhadol Thikana within the erstwhile Mewar State. The Jhala Rajputs of Mewar, celebrated for their legendary bravery and sacrifice—most notably exemplified by Jhala Maan of Bari Sadri at the Battle of Haldighati—held several prestigious fiefdoms under the Maharanas of Udaipur. Over the generations, cadet branches like Khakhara Khera were established through land grants (patta) to the younger sons of the Jhadol ruling family to govern local territories, maintain law and order, and provide military support to the Mewar state. This Thikana preserved its rich martial heritage and local administrative autonomy within the feudal hierarchy of Rajasthan until the integration of princely states and the subsequent abolition of the jagirdari system post-independence.
