Saluniya

The Thikana of Saluniya, a notable vassal estate of the Jodha Rathore clan, was established in the 19^th century when Maharaj Hamir Singh Ji of Jamli granted the land of Saluniya to Thakur Bhagwan Singh Ji. As a noble fiefdom historically linked to the wider geopolitical sphere of Marwar, the Thikana's administrators played an active role in local governance and defensive alliances typical of Rajput jagirdaris. Throughout the British Raj, the Jodha Rathores of Saluniya maintained their local autonomy and traditional administrative roles until the post-independence integration of princely estates into the modern state of Rajasthan, which brought an end to the formal jagirdari system.
