Jaitaran is a town and a municipality in Beawar district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Formerly in Pali district. Jaitaran is known by the place of Jaita-Koopa

## History

[edit]

Jaitaran was one of the districts under  Jodhpur State.  Rao Suja's son, Rao Uda, did not receive Jaitaran as a grant; he conquered it from the Sindal  Rajputs with his friend Khetsinh Kaviya of Birai. Khetsinh Kaviya's successors were later granted the jageer of Gehwasni (later divided into two villages Nokh and Basni Kaviyan) situated near Jaitaran for his bravery. Uda's descendants are known as Udawats and till 1947, Udawats held major thikanas around Jaitaran, like Raipur, Nimaj, Ras, Lambia.[1] During Maratha raids in Marwar, Holkar found it very difficult to extort money from people around Jaitaran, Sojat and Raipur as they preferred to quit their huts, set fire to them rather than being forced to make any kind of payment.
