Maroth is a village located in Nawa, Nagaur district, in the state of Rajasthan, India. The area surrounding the village is name Gaurati, which means "The Land of Gaurs".[1] This area was a principality granted by Maharaja Vigharaj Chauhan to Maharaja Bawan Gaur in 1260 AD. In 1659 AD, it was granted by Aurangzeb to Maharaja Raghunath Singh for his service in battle.[2] During this time period the Gaur Rajputs of this area paid more than 6.65% of the Jama (tax) of the principality according to Ain-A-Akbari.[3]
Maroth is located approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from both Nawan and the railway station of Kuchaman city.[4] The village draws tourists because of its archaeological sites and interest. A total of 1,417 families live in the village, which has a population of 8,330 of which 4,344 are males and 3,986 are females according to the Indian Census of 2011.[citation needed]
Location
Maroth is located along State Highway Number 19, which links Jodhpur to Jaipur.[5] Maroth has one bus stop which connects the village to Kuchaman City and a railway station near the village in which trains going to Jodhpur from Jaipur stop.[citation needed]
History
Template:More sources needed section The Gaur people ruled the region around Maroth for centuries. Over the course of history, they increased their influence and expanded their kingdom. The Gaur people fought alongside the Amber Kingdom early in their history. In the early 16th century, a man named Riddmal became the ruler of Maroth and the leader of the Gaur rulers of the region. Riddmal was a military commander of the Gaurs and fought several battles against local rival Rao Shekha, consolidating all the Gaur people under his control and killing Shekha.[6] However, Riddmal was forced to enter into a treaty with Raymal, the son of Rao Sheikha.[citation needed]
The Gaurs of Maroth maintained a good relationship with Shah Jahan during his reign. They were influential in the early years of the Delhi Durbar, but lost much of their power in the assembly during Aurangzeb's era. Despite this weakness, the Gaurs were still able to resist an attack by Raghunath Singh Medtiya. Still, some of the Gaurs relocated to other villages outside of Maroth, such as Alwar, Jhunjhunu, Ajmer, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Sopra.[citation needed]
