Tharua

Tharua (ठरऊआ) Tharaua (ठाराऊआ) gotra Jats are found in Madhya Pradesh.

Origin

Tharua (ठरऊआ) (Jat clan) → Tharraka (ठर्रका). Tharraka (ठर्रका) is a deserted village, 15 miles from Damoh near the village Nayagaon, in Jabera tahsil in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh. It is find place of an important inscription - (112) Tharraka Sati Inscriptions of 1513 AD.^[1]. This inscription helps to derive the Origin of name of Singorgarh from Shrigauri-gadha (श्रीगौरी-गढ़). The theory of origin of name Singorgarh from Gajasimhadurga by Alexander Cunningham and other archaeologists has been proved wrong by (112) Tharraka Sati Inscriptions of 1513 AD. Tharraka (ठर्रका) contains five Sati pillars reoffering to the Gond regime. One is dated in samvat 1570 (1513 AD) during the reign of Amhandasadeva (आम्हणदासदेव) surname Sangram Sahi (संग्राम साही), the greatest king of the Gond dynasty. It mentions Tharraka (ठर्रका) as included in Shrigadha Gauri Vishaye Durge (श्रीगढ़ गौरी विषये दुर्गे), which furnishes a clue to the real derivation of Singoragadha fort from Shrigauri-gadha (श्रीगौरी-गढ़), fancifully derived by Cunningham from Gajasimha Durga, a name which appears to have been imposed by a Parihara Raja Gajasmha, but the old name asserted itself when the Parihara rule vanished. ^[2]
