'''Thathawata''' is a village located in [[Churu District]] of [[Rajasthan]] state in [[India]]. At the 2001 census, the village had a total population of 2500.

The Village Thathawata is within the [[Ratangarh, Churu|Ratangarh]] Tehsil in the southeast direction, west of [[Fatehpur, Shekhawati|Fatehpur]] and 3 km southwest of [[Biramsar]] village on [[National Highway (India)|National Highway]].

==History==
[[File:Johad.JPG|thumb|left|View of a [[Johad]] at village Thathawata]]
After the victory of last [[Hindu]] King of [[Delhi]], [[Prithviraj III]] [[Chauhan]], in the [[Second Battle of Tarain]] in 1192, The [[Jats|Rajput Rathore]] in his army moved to the countryside and settled as cultivators at various places in [[India]]. One such Rathore soldier was [[Hari Singh|Hari singh]] of Bhadia [[clan]] who founded the village Thathawata. The Bhadias had also settled villages [[Banthod]] and [http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/24/Rol2.html Rol] in present [[Sikar]] district of [[Rajasthan]].

==Geography==
Route Biramsar on National Highway-11 to Kusumdesar village passes through the village.

The natural climatic conditions in the village are very harsh and extreme. The temperature ranges from sub-zero in winters to more than 50 °C in summers. The summers bring hot waves of air called "loo". The village lies in the [[Thar desert]] region. Annual rainfall is very low of the scale of 25 cm. The [[ground water]] in the village is hard and salty and as deep as 200 feet. The people in the region depend on [[rainwater harvesting]]. The rainwater is stored in pucca tanks, known as [[Johad]], which is used throughout the year for drinking purposes. On an average the region faces every third year as a dry year and every eighth year as a [[famine]] year. During famine years it becomes very difficult for the animals to survive for want of [[fodder]] and the cattle population goes down drastically.

==Demographics==
At the census of 2001, Thathawate had a population of 6,500, of which 1105 were adults. There were 650 families residing in the village. Out of these, 513 families are of Bidawat ([[Rathore]]) [[Rajput]]s, 66 families of Jats and 75 families of other [[caste]]s. The Jat families included [[Burdak]], [[Chahar (clan)|Chahar]], [[Jhajharia]], [[Pachar]] and [[Punia (Hinduism)|Punia]] [[clan]]s. The other [[caste]]s included [[Brahman]]s, [[Harijan]]s, [[Kumhar]]s, Nai, [[Dholi]], [[Aheria|Naik]] and [[Daroga]].

The main occupation of the villagers was in [[agriculture]]. There were around 30 persons serving the [[Indian Army]] and the same number of retired army personnel. About 70 people had gone to [[Arab]] countries for work. There were 7 teachers, one advocate and one [[All India Services]] class one officer.

All people belong to [[Hindu]] religion. There is one [[temple]] of [[Thakor]]ji, two temples of [[Goddess]] [[Mawali]] and one ''than'' (a sacred place) of [[Gogaji]].
