HistoryThe Dhaulya ancestors of Tejaji were settled in Khilchipur in Madhya Pradesh. The Naga Jats of Marwar are from Vasuki or Ganapati Nagavansh. The Dhaulya clan started after Dhawal Rao or Dhaula Rao ruler of Nagavansh. Swet Naga in Sanskrit is the Dhaulya Naga in prakrit language. Tejaji's ancestor Udairaj occupied Khirnal and made it his capital. There were twenty four villages in Khirnal pargana and area was quite extensive. This pargana of Khirnal was very famous during those.[1] Khilchipur was founded in 1544 by Dewan Ugra Sen, a Khichi Jat, a section of the great Chauhan clan, who was forced by family dissensions to migrate from the Khichi capital of Gagraun (Gagraon, Gāgraon). [2] Khilchipur was formerly the capital of a princely state of the same name, under the Bhopal Agency of British India's Central India Agency. It had an area of 273 square miles, and a population of 31,143 in 1901. Its estimated revenue in 1911 was 7000 rupees, and it paid a yearly tribute to Sindhia of Gwalior of 700 rupees. Its rulers were Khichi Rajputs of the Chauhan clan. The rulers acceded to the Government of India after India's independence in 1947, and the Khilchipur became part of the new state of Madhya Bharat.
