Mundru is an old historical village in Sri Madhopur tehsil of Sikar district of Rajasthan, India. ==History== In pre-independence era, Mundru was a principality and head seat〔(Rajput (Kshatriya) Sakhaom ka itihasa, Devisingha Mandawa, Ranbankura Prakasana, 1990 )〕 of the Thakurs of Hariramot sub-clan of Raisalot Shekhawats Rajputs, often referred to as 'Hariramji ka Shekhawats' and one of the Princely Thikanas of Shekhawati region of Rajputana. It was the capital of the an estate of the same name founded in 1621 by Raja Hridayram of Ranoli. He was the eldest son of Raja Hariram, the elder son of Darbari Raja Raisal, the ruler of Udaipurvati (Kausambhi), Kasli, Rewasa (Khachariawas) and Khandela (also called Khandila, Khandelapura, Khandelgiri) (1549–1621), Premiere Courtier of Mughal Empire, and his wife, Rajkumari Kisnavati Nirban, the only daughter of Chauhan Raja Peetha Nirwan of K While Raja Raisal was in the Deccan (Burhanpur), Madho Singh Ladkhani and other grandsons of his, out of boldness and evil intentions, collected a number of vagabonds and forcibly took possession of their grandfather's property, which was called Khandela and was near Amber. Mathura Das Bengali, who was upright and learned, and held charge of the Raja's establishment, and was acting as the Raja's deputy at the Court behaved with prudence, and rescued part of the property from the hands of the usurpers. His sons Raja Hariram, Raja Bhojraj and Rao Tirmal had got titles and Mansab during the lifetime of their father, while younger son Raja Girdhar who behaved loyally to the Emperor received the title of Raja after the Raisal's death. Other sons and grandsons of whom there was a large number, lived in their native country on the pretence of being landholders, but were for the most part robbers and sedition-mongers.〔(The Digital Library of India )〕 Raja Hariram was granted the estate of Khandela. He died in a battle and his infant son Hridayram was installed on the throne and responsibility to manage the pargana as its Dewan (Prime Minister) was given to Girdhardas, the seventh son of Raja Raisal. He usurped the properties and the Majis (widow queens) and their children established principality of Ranoli and later that of Mundru. Mundru was initially an independent petty state and the princes worked as Military Commanders of Jaipur and Khandela. It accepted allegiance of Jaipur for nominal purposes after end of Mughal rule in early 19th Century around 1818 AD. Some of the descendants established themselves at smaller fiefs or jagirs in nearby villages including Lisaria or Lasada, Abhawas, Kolwa, Bhomias, Bagariawas and Dhalyawas or Dhaliawas.〔(Rulers of Thikana Mundru )〕 Some jagirs were captured by collateral branches of Rajawats of Jaipur, Girdharji Ka Shekhawats of Khandela and Raoji Ka Shekhawats. Dadia and Jethi tracts slipped out of their control on being usurped by Girdharji Ka Shekhawats. Rao Daulat Singh of Sikar along with Rao Fateh Singh of Dujod and Rao Deep Singh of Kasli (great grandsons of Rao Tirmal), ousted a branch of the family of Hari Ramji Ka Shekhawats and took possession of Jagmalpura estate along with Chainpura and Dadi in late 17th Century.() Rajkumari Sone Kanwar, Princess of Mundru, granddaughter of Hariramji was married to the heroic Thakur Sahibkhanji Champawat.〔(Shekhawat Dynasty Genealogy, Melbourne, Australia. )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mundru」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
