Location

Maroth is located at 27.096668°N 75.085952°E / 27.096668; 75.085952.[3] State Highway Number 19, which links Jodhpur to Jaipur, is nearby.[4]

Gaur Kshatriyas of Maroth region: Jagirdars of Maroth and Mothri became the masters of Vamana's grandson Moterao Kuchaman and Jaalim Singh of Maroth. In this region, the Gaurs increased their influence and expanded the kingdom. Due to the rule of Gaurs, this state is still famous by the name of Gaudati. The Gaurs here also fought the Amber kingdom. In the early 16th century, Riddmal became the ruler of Gaur Maroth, the Patvi leader of the Gaur rulers of the region

After the killing of Kolaraj Gaur by Rao Shekha(he was also killed in this battle) at Kololav pond near Ghatwa, there were 12 battles with Rao Shekha, a relative near Gaur. The twelfth battle was fought under the leadership of Riddmal, the veteran ruler of Maroth, collecting all the Gaur power and Riddmal had to make a treaty with Raymal, son of Rao Sheikha.

The Gaurs had a good relationship with Shah Jahan during Shahjahan's reign and were influential in the Delhi Durbar, but during Aurangzeb's era, the Gaudas of Maroth remained weak in the Delhi Durbar.Taking advantage of this weak situation, Raghunath Singh Mertiya snatched the marrow from the Gaurs and Aurangzeb also approved the name of Maroth in the name of Raghunath Singh Mertiya.

But even then it was not possible for Raghunath Singh Medtiya to defeat the Gaurs who had been relatively weak before. Raghunath Singh Mertiya took his relatives with the Kachhwahs for this and then the Gaurs could be defeated.

Some of the Gaurs went to Alwar, Jhunjhunu,Ajmer,Jaipur,Jodhpur,Sopra(The village Sopra was given to Gaur Rajputs of Gouravati, Maroth as Jagir by HH Maharaja Jaswant Singh II of Marwar (Jodhpur) State. As per the ancestors and books of "Rao's" Maharaja of Marwar gave challenge that whoever will shot down the owl in the dark would be given the jagir of Sopra, at that time popular shooter Giridhari Singh ji Gaur accepted the challenge and shot the owl in his very first shot. He was then given jagir of Sopra and was publicly honored and was also was given post of Thakur saheb. Sopra is known for its bravery, Thakur Shri Giridhari Singhji and Thakur Shri Nathu Singhji fought very bravely in various wars.)

and other places from Maroth region itself.
These Gaurs from Maroth are also known as Marothia Gaurs.

There is a lot of material available in the local history of this heroic Rajput dynasty, who once ruled in this region of Rajasthan, which needs further research. They had marital relations with his neighbors Shekhawat and Rathore Rajputs, information of which is also found in abundance in history.

gollark: - `make`/`new` are basically magic- `range` is magic too - what it does depends on the number of return values you use, or something. Also, IIRC user-defined types can't implement it- Generics are available for all of, what, three builtin types? Maps, slices and channels, if I remember right.- `select` also only works with the built-in channels- Constants: they can only be something like four types, and what even is `iota` doing- The multiple return values can't be used as tuples or anything. You can, as far as I'm aware, only return two (or, well, more than one) things at once, or bind two returns to two variables, nothing else.- no operator overloading- it *kind of* has exceptions (panic/recover), presumably because they realized not having any would be very annoying, but they're not very usable- whether reading from a channel is blocking also depends how many return values you use because of course
gollark: What, you mean no it doesn't have weird special cases everywhere?
gollark: It pretends to be "simple", but it isn't because there are bizarre special cases everywhere to make stuff appear to work.
gollark: So of course, lol no generics.
gollark: Well, golang has no (user-defined) generics, you see.
