History
The Thakurs of this thikana are descendants of Maharana Udai Singh II of Mewar (founder of Udaipur) through his third son Baba Veeramdeo, the younger brother of Rana Sagat Singh (founder of the Shaktawat-Sisodia clan). This thikana is a Baba Ranawat thikana (that is, a thikana from which male children were adopted to the ruling house of Mewar, in the absence of a male heir). Many Veeramdevots were close advisors of several Maharanas of Udaipur and the hereditary Kiledar (Governor) of Kumbhalgarh fort. The descendents of Maharana Udai Singh II were the first branch of Sisodias to carry the patronym of Ranawat, and hence carry the prefix of ‘Baba Ranawat’. They are a sub-branch of the jagir of Sanwar, and other Viramdevot Ranawats are found in Hamirgarh, Kherabad, Sanwar, Kankarwa, Jaiwana, Pahuna, Turkiya, Ranawaton-ki-sadri and Ranawaton-ka bangla.
