History
The Thikana of Manjhi is a prominent historical estate held by the Mertiya clan of the Rathore dynasty. The Mertiyas trace their ancestry back to Rao Duda, the ruler of Merta and a younger son of Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur. The members of this clan are historically renowned for their exceptional valor, epitomized by the legendary warrior Rao Jaimal of Merta, who famously defended Chittorgarh against the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Over the centuries, the descendants of this heroic lineage branched out, establishing several aristocratic fiefdoms (Thikanas) across the Marwar region, with Manjhi being granted to a distinguished branch of the Mertiya Rathores for their exemplary military services to the Jodhpur state.
