Kulhari

From Jatland Wiki

Kulhari (कुलहरी) Kuleri Kularia (कुलड़िया) Kularia (कुलरिया) Kularya (कुलरया) Kuladia (कुलड़िया) Kuladiya (कुलड़िया) is a gotra of jats found in Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi. These people get this gotra name after their apical ancestor named Kulotunga (कुलोतुंग) ^[1]

History

It is a branch of Johiya Jats. Kulhari jats ruled in Marwar area in 11th to 12th century. Bahipal was their king and Kot-Marot was their capital. There was a fort also at Kot-Marot. Bahipal had a war with the subedar of Hisar in which he lost his kingdom.

Bahipal moved to Kathod and established a new kingdom there. Kathod is about 22 km from Ajmer. The descendants of Bahipal constructed a fort at Koliya. The Raja of Koyal pattan arrested the Kulahari jats. Myth is that their Kuldevi Pada got them released. After that the Kulhari Jats made Didwana as their capital. They established at Didwana statues of Bahipal and the Kuldevi Pada.

One group of these people went to Sangaliya and from there to Bosana, Chudi and Sangasi. Shekhawat Rajputs annexed their state. Rathore Rajputs annexed the Didwana area.

Another theory is that there was a king in Haryana who had three sons. One was Khichar , another was Mahla & third one was Kulhari. These sons came to Rajasthan. Mahlas settled in a place called Bhalaria in Jhunjhunu. From there they migrated to other places in Rajathan. As a matter of fact Mahla, Kulhari & Khichars are considered brothers & don’t marry in their gotras.
