Early history

Taxakeshwar temple

Discovery of a few stone age tools, picked from three villages of Ratlam, proves the existence of the primitive man in the District. Among these, two microlithic sites were found in Jaora[2]. In Ancient times Ratlam was included in Avanti region, known as Malwa from the 7th-8th century onwards.

This Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh was ruled by Nagavanshi rulers for a long period. This is clear from some historical evidences such as the very name of the town Nagda in adjoining Ujjain district. The name of the town was actually nag-dah which means cremation/burning (dah) of snakes (nagas). Near by Nagda there is famous Delanpur temple of Hanumanji, Place of Naga Maharaj Kalkheda (कालखेड़ा), Kalmoda (कलमोड़ा), Kalukhedi, Kalukheda, Nagpipalya in Ratlam district.

Taxakeshawar (तक्षकेश्वर) or Takhaji (ताखाजी) is a place of religious and historical importance with temple of Taxaka in Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh. It is situated at a distance of 22 km from Bhanpura town on Hinglajgarh road. [3]This is the site of serpent king taxak , where he is worshiped as Taxakeshawar but the local people call him Takhaji. Curiously enough he shares the worship of the country folk with Dhanvantri, the Indian Aesculapius. [4][5] The shrine in question stands on a most romantic spot from village Navali[6] situated on the table land at the foot of which Bhanpura lies. [7]

This place is probably the only site having a temple and a statue of nagaraja Taxak. Statue of Taxaka is shown with seven serpent hoods protecting from above. In one hand of Taxaka is shown a human head. On one side is shown his wife and his son on other side. The period of installing this statue is estimated to be 12th century. [8] [9] A fair is organized on every purnima of baisakh month of Hindu Calendar. [10]

There is puranic mythological legend heard about nagaraja Taxaka and Dhanavantari in this part of Malwa region in Madhya Pradesh. Emperor Janamejaya ascended to the throne of Hastinapura upon the death of his father Parikshita. According to legend, Parikshita, the lone descendant of the House of Pandu, had died of snakebite. He had been cursed by a sage to die so, the curse having been consummated by the serpent-chieftain Takshak. Janamejaya bore a deep grudge against the serpents for this act, and thus decided to wipe them out altogether. He attempted this by performing a great Sarpa satra - a sacrifice at Nagda that would destroy all living serpents. All the nagas had been destroyed in this nagayagya except Taxaka, who is believed to have obtained boon from Lord Vishnu. Local tradition goes that Taxaka resides here in this place.

On the other hand Dhanavantari along with his followers and medicines was going to save Parikshita. The Taxaka naga with the help of illusive powers took the form of wood-stick of chandan tree. When Dhanavantari took this wood-stick on his shoulder, the Taxaka bite him on back and Dhanvantari died. The local people believe that Dhanvantari stays here since that time as god of herbs and medicines. The local vaidyas first worship Dhanavantari here and then collect medicinal herbs for treatment.

Origin of Ratlam

Dr Ajit Raizada writes that the name of Ratlam is popularly said to be derived from that of Raja Ratan Singh (1652-58), the founder of Ratlam State.[11] This is, however, a fallacy as Ratlam was already in existence before Ratan Singh was granted the district, since it is mentioned by Abul Fazl in the Ain-i-Akbari as one of the mahals in the Ujjain sarkar of Malwa subah. [12]

Bhim Singh Dahiya [13] mentions about king of Varika clan of the Jats ruling in that area in the year 428 S.V., and the name of his grandfather was Yashorata and that of his great grandfather was Vyagrarata. The 'Rata' ending names are admittedly foreign to Indian and this example also shows how the personal names were gradually being Indianised. He [14] further mentions the four ancestors of Vishnuvardhana Varika of Mandsaur Pillar inscription :

  1. Vyaghrarata ... 420 A.D.
  2. Yasorata ... 455 A.D.
  3. Yasovardhana ... 480 A.D.
  4. Vishnuvardhana ... 506 A.D.

Here we must note that apart from other evidence, the first two names ending with 'Rata', are not Indian but definitely of Central Asian origin, only partly Indianised. Here this 'Rata' Dynasty probably gives name to Ratlam as there rule in the area is evident from Mandsaur Pillar Inscription.

Dr Naval Viyogi in his book "Nagas: the Ancient Rulers of India" [15] has provided a list of some important Gotras of Tak kshatriyas and explained their history. The list includes Jat as well Rati.

Dr Naval Viyogi also writes that there was a Naga family of Ratta people in the south. Ratta was naga king of Mahinsak-Ratta. C.V. Vaidya [16] has traced out the relation of queen of Ratta family with the region of eastern valley. Kalhan has described her, as the queen of Ratta family of Karnat country, which has been equated with Karnataka and the region has been called Mahinsaka in pali literature and Mahishaka in sanskrit. The rule of Ratta in Karnataka was in in 7-8th century. [17]

Dr Naval Viyogi quotes the opinion of N K Dutta according to whom Aratta were round headed Iranians, and were known as Rattika or Ratta, whose mention has been made in the inscription of Ashoka. This Rattika or Ratta is a variation of Iranian word 'Rathaestha'. Hulus has equated Ratta with the Arattioi of Periplus and Aratta of Punjab. [18]

There is evidence from Shankhpaul jataka that there was a naga king of Ratta or Aratta family who were Karaskaras. [19]

The study of Jat Gotras in Ratlam district shows that at present Ratiwar (रतिवार) Gotra of Jats are found in Ratlam district in Madhya Pradesh. More than three-fourth of Taxaka people merged in to Jat federation. [20] It is clear from this fact that Ratiwars are descendants of Nagavanshi king Rati or Ratti or Ratta. This Nagavanshi king probably gives name to Ratlam.

Jats in Ratlam district

Jats were earlier in Nagavansha and lived in this region in ancient times. The local tradition also reveals the presence of Jats in the region in ancient times. We have some authentic records from the Ratlam District Gazetteer about the population of Jats. Dr Ajit Raizada [21]quotes the The Ratlam District Gazetteer Published in 1907, according to which Ratlam district included the three erstwhile princely states of Ratlam, Sailana and Jaora. Regarding Castes,Tribes and Races in the Princely State Ratlam the District Gazetteer gives breakup as under:

  • Rajputs - 6000 (Rathore;754,chauhans:338, Solanki:226, Parmars;222,Sisodia:184),
  • Banias - 4200,
  • Kunbis - 2900,
  • Jats - 1680,
  • Dhakars - 690,
  • Khatis - 1400 and
  • Malis - 1040

Study of Jat Gotras in Ratlam distrct

Veer Jat Prichayawali, Ratlam

Dr Nirmal Anand (Bajdoliya) from Ratlam collected detailed information in year 2006 about family members of Jats residing in Ratlam district in Madhya Pradesh. The format of information included name of the Village, name of Jat member, age, gotra, relation with head of family, marital status, education and profession. This information was compiled into a book covering 368 pages.

Dr Nirmal Anand published it as a book under the title 'Jat Veer Parichayavali, District Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh)'. This directory has a list of 10713 members of Jat community from 612 Jat Gotras and about 73 villages in Ratlam district. The 380 gotra names are new gotras not yet recorded in Jatland Wiki with any information about them. I have compiled the information village wise, gotra wise and digitized to use it here in this article. This list is a useful document for the study and distribution of Jat gotras in Ratlam district.

This is very ancient village even of period earlier than Mauryas and the Guptas. Faridsahab paid homage to the God about 1400 years back while he stayed at Badawda.

Bricks of ancient times have been found in the excavations. There is a water tank of very ancient style. There is need to further do the excavations and discover its past history.[27]

Jhar is located 12 kms, East of Bhatpachalana in Ratlam district of Madhya Pradesh. It is connected with Kachhalana Road with Laptiya - Sandala. Jhar means a 'water spring'.

Main article: Namli

Very ancient historical village inhabited by many Jat gotras. The Namli Garh is built on an artificial mound, held together by fortified walls.

There is a huge beautiful statue of Gajananda Ganesha at Piploda. There is also mataji temple near Piploda. [29]

Piploda was made the capital by Dodiya clan kshatriya Shardul Singh in 1547. There was a strong fort on the top of a hillock. The fort had a ditch on one side surrounded by Khedra nalah. Goddess Chamunda was Kuladevi of the Dodiya rulers. The Dodiya rulers were well protected due to the fort. They never hesitated to challenge the powerful Rajput rulers of Rajasthan. Maharawat Pratap Singh (1673-1708) of Pratapgarh, Rajasthan defeated Dodiya ruler Rawat Bhawat Singh (1663-1703). On accepting his supremacy Maharawat Pratap Singh returned the statehood to Dodiya rulers. Later Dodiya rulers successively ruled under the reign of Yashwant Rao Holker, Jaora Nawab Gafoor Khan, and British rule. [30]

Dodiya is a Jat clan found in Ratlam and Nimach in Madhya Pradesh and Chittorgarh in Rajasthan. It is probably a variant of Dudi Jat Gotra. In Malwa region they are called as Dodiya, Dundi, Dundiya etc. due to local language variation.

Main article: Sukheda

Sukheda village has a cave here on Khedapati Hanuman Tekari. This type of cave is also there in temple of Laxman Singhji. The Somnath temple of this place is very ancient. [31]
