Anukraman Singh Rathore

Remembering Late Thakuranisa Rajendra Kanwar Kachchawa Ji on her 16th death anniversary 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Miss you माँ, every moment, every day. Your love, care, and precious memories stay in our hearts forever.

Bhanwar Vilas Palace was constructed in 1938 as the personal residence of the then ruler of Karauli, Maharaja Ganesh Pal. The architecture of the palace is distinctive, marking a departure from the traditional forts and palaces of the region, including the older Karauli City Palace, with an elegant blend of Art Deco and colonial influences.

Nestled within a working farm surrounded by horses and cattle, Bhanwar Vilas Palace offers a unique and serene atmosphere. The gardens of the palace also house garages showcasing a remarkable collection of classic and vintage cars. It was a short but memorable visit to explore this charming place — and certainly one worth returning to.

Reading about, Aapjisa(my grandfather) Sh Tej Singh Ji Bhagwanpura's office, The Jodhpur Lancers by MichaecCreese published by Roli Books, The Meharangarh Museum Trust and forewarded by Maharaja Gaj Singh Ji Marwar.

The Sardar Risala, which later was known as Jodhpur Lancers, was formed in 1888 by Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh of Idar, The Regent of Marwar and named it after his nephew, then, Maharaj Kumar Sardar Singh. The Sardar Risala was established to replace the feudal system, where the jagirdars provided men and horses, with a modern, standing army unit. The Jodhpur Risala is renowned for its service in the Boxer Rebellion (1900) and both World Wars and it's glory reached the pinnacle with display of great bravery and its crucial role in the Battle of Haifa.

Jodhpur Lancers were also referred to as Jo Hukam, meaning As You Command, which they earned with their war skill display in The Great War where no challenge was insurmountable and no order was refused by them. Jodhpur Lancers mainly consisting of Rathores who had earned the badge and called, as रण बंका राठौड़ (Ran Banka Rathore - The Rathore, The Invincible in Battle) over centuries in their wars against the Mughals and Marathas where they even silenced the canons with their courage.

General Sir Fredrick Roberts the then Commander in Chief spoke about the Jodhpur Lancers " If we seek for a picture of chivalrous gallantry unswerving fidelity and fearless self-devotion, we have only to turn to the cavalry of the Rajput states, and particularly to that of the Rathores. It is the IZZAT of the Rajput which is dearer to him than life..."

The Battle of Haifa, 23rd September 1918 the war crazed, Jo Hukams, Rathores of The Jodhpur Lancers charged the slopes of Mount Carmel, which was well defended by Ottoman Empire army, canons, machine guns and artillery, and in a quick action barged into the town killing and capturing whoever and whatever came across them to seize Haifa.

The Sardar Risala or The Jodhpur Lancers are now represented by the 61st Cavalry Regiment in the Indian Army.

Karauli Palace, is beautiful and well preserved, seat of Yaduvanshi Jadaun Rajputs who are descendants of Bhagwan Shri Krishn.

Thank you and for this wonderful experience. Kudos to ji for your efforts.

It’s heartbreaking to see the Ashwamedh Yagya Stambh of Dhundhaarh (Jaipur) in such a state — once a proud symbol of power and sovereignty, now standing neglected and powerless.
