History
The Mahabharata Book 9: Shalya Parva, Chapter 44, Kisari Mohan Ganguli, tr. 1883-1896 mentions about the warriors who came to the ceremony for investing Kartikeya with the status of generalissimo. Jewlia have been mentioned along with very important Nagas like Vasuki and Pannaga in shloka 48 and 56 as under:
- जयं महाजयं चैव नागौ जवलनसूनवे
- परथथौ पुरुषव्याघ्र वासुकिः पन्नगेश्वरः।।48।।
The evidences of the rule of Jewlia clan Jats are available in Kishangarh inscription in Rajasthan. A Jewlia Jat chieftain got constructed a Chhatri at Kishangarh in Rajasthan, India. To the southwest of this chhatri is a victory pillar. At this place there is a statue of a Jat chieftain of Jewlia gotra with an inscription of samvat 1111 (1054 AD). To the north of this chhatri at a distance of 15 feet there is an ancient masonry tank for drinking water for cows and a well. The well is constructed from well dressed and cut stones indicating its unique architecture and strength. To the west of this chhatri is a huge pond spread over 50 bigha land also constructed by Jewlia Jat chieftains.
There was a gold coin obtained in excavation near the above chhatri. The coin is engraved with image of the king with bow and arrow and on the other side there is agni-kund. This coin indicates that some ancestor of Jewlia clan was a king prior to 10th century.
