Dhariyawad

A small town of Dhariyawad is located in the Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan. It is easily accessible from major cities of Rajasthan such as Udaipur, Jaipur, Chittorgarh etc.

Formerly Sisodia clan ruled the Mewar region for over eight hundred years continuously. It should be noted that this region was governed by famous rulers such as Maharana Pratap (1540 - 1597), Maharana Kumbha and Maharana Sangram Singh (also known as Rana Sanga). According to historians and local legends, in the 14th century, Maharana Kumbha (1433-1468) was the ruler of Chittaurgarh. The son of Surajmal of Kshemkarn later (1473-1530) became the ruler of Devalia in 1514 AD in Devgarh). Surajmal had successfully established his capital of 'Kanthal-Desh' which is a small town almost 10 Km west of the present Pratapgarh city. The city got its name after Maharawat Pratap Singh. It is not named after Maharana Pratap, as usual mistaken by the public.
