History of Thalod Gotra

The records of Thalod gotra are maintained by their Badwa Gopalrao village Srinagar, Tehsil Rajgarh, District Alwar. According to them, the origin of Thalod gotra is believed to be from Abu mountain in Chauhan dynasty. Their identification marks are -

सफ़ेद झंडा,
नगारा बेरीसाल,
वृक्ष चंपा,
निशान घोडा सफ़ेद,
शाखा - कौथुनी

According to Badwa Gopalrao's book, Chaudhary Babalji came from Dhamana and established the village of Losal-Kheda in Chait Badi Dooj Samvat 1221 (1164 AD). Made a solid well. While waiting for the well, three men got buried. Thalod people believe in Khuwan Mata. Khuwan Mata was shown to Babylon. Babylon drove all three people alive. Since then Thalod worships Khuwan Mata. Khuwan Mata made a vow that anyone can go to Thalod -

कुए पर जूती नहीं ले जायेगा,
शिकार नहीं करेगा,
मांस नहीं खायेगा,
सफ़ेद बकरी नहीं बेचेगा,
न सफ़ेद बकरी का दूध खायेगा,
न इसके दूध का बिलोवणा करेगा,
हरा मुरायला नहीं काटेगा.

If someone does this work, then his lineage will not work.

Their deity is Shakal ji alias Saval ji. Shakalji was born on Chait Badi 5th Samvat 1652 (1595 AD) in the house of father Tehrajji in village Khudi in Thalod gotra. His mother's name was Rajadevi and she was the daughter of Kanji Dhaka of village Bhojasar. Rajadevi had two brothers - Kolaji and Dudaji.

Shakalji gave his life to save the cows. The Muslims were taking away the cows. Shakal ji chased the thieves and rescued them and brought the cows in Sidharana pair.
