Rasidpura

Rasidpura Thikana, situated near the historical borders of Nagaur in Rajasthan, was a prominent estate held by the Jodha sept of the Rathore dynasty, tracing its ancestry back to Rao Jodha, the 15^th-century founder of Jodhpur. Granted as a fiefdom to the descendants of the Jodha Rathore clan for their military valor and administrative allegiance, the Thikana played a strategic role in the geopolitical landscape of the Marwar region. The rulers of Rasidpura, as vassal chieftains, actively managed local administration, maintained regional security, and provided crucial military contingents to the parent state during regional conflicts throughout the Mughal and British periods, preserving their distinct noble lineage and Rajput heritage until the abolition of the Jagirdari system post-Independence in 1949.
