Parantu dhanaabhaav ke kaaran yahaan sangrahaalay nahin ban saka.

Kasbe mein pura mahatv kee saamagree yatr-tatr tessitoree bikharee padee hain. puraatatv vibhaag aur paryatan vibhaag kee anadekhee aur udaaseenata se yah anamol dharohar ujad rahee hain. yadi puraatatv ko sanrakshan diya jae to ab bhee kaaphee kuchh bacha hain jise sanrakshit kiya ja sakata hain.

History of Pallu

Pallu town is in the sub-tehsil headquarters of Rawatsar tehsil of Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan. The place has a historical, religious and archaeological importance. In ancient times this place has been the area of river valley civilization.  Its geographical position is like Barmer, Jaisalmer and Churu. The Thar Deserts surrounds the town and there are no mountains or hills anywhere near it.

Kings Who Ruled Pallu:

Many Kings have ruled Pallu, such as the Rajput kings of Bikaner, Parmar, Chauhan, Killur Raja, and Sihag Jats.  Pallu was earlier known as Prahladpur, Kilur Kot, now it is known after the Jat Sardar’s girl name ‘Pallu’. Pallu has been colonized many times and at times it was desolate and barren, so Pallu has a different story in every era that does not match the previous one. Interesting legends and folktales abound of this town.

The Godara Jats are located in a place called Sui which is in Lunkaransar tehsil, 58 miles away from Churu and 12 miles from Sheikhsar.  It was the capital of Sihag Jats and the region was called Siaggoti or Siagoti.

Historians differ on the number of villages. Dayaldas has written that there were one hundered and forty villages under his command whereas Colonel Tod and Thakur Deshraj have said that there were one hundred and fifty vilages.

According to Thakur Deshraj and Dayaldas, their capital was Pallu and the name of the kings was Chokha.  Towns like Rawatsar, Biramsar, Dandusar, Gandeli etc. were within the boundary of their kingdom.

The other place of Sihagas may have been Pallu, which is in Nohar Tehsil, a few miles from Sui. Pallu was a major center for   Jainism activities during the period of Chauhans. Many 11th century sculptures have been found in Pallu and one of them is in National Museum in New Delhi and one in Bikaner Museum.

In the first half of Vikram’s 16th century, like other Jat bases, Pallu and Sui too had control by the Rathos. It is said that Sihag Jats did not accept the subjugation of Rathoda’s easily. Rathos cheated Sihag Jats, by calling them for negotiaton and burned them alive in their enclosure and this by treachery is still remembered by the locals.

Pallu and Prince Kilur:

According to the legends and mythology, Pallu was called’Kot Kilur’.  Once sage Markandey visited Mount Aabu, the kingdom of king Gajpat (Ganpat), his son Kilur served him with great dedication and sentiment. Rishi Markandey became very pleased and blessed Kilur to fulfill his wish. After this, the prince did the penance of the Brahmini Mata. When she appeared inside him and asked him for a wish the prince Kilur asked for the establishment of a kingdom separate from his  father and with the blessings of Brahmini Devi, he established Kot Kilur State (present-day Pallu village), in the Brahmavrita state.

Pallu Daughter of Sihag Jat Moongandhraka:

One legend is that the Sihag Jat named Moogandhraka was the king of Kiloor. In the fear of Mugals, he married his daughter Pallu to a prince named Shahib from Delhi. But he did not want to part with her so he poisoned the food of his son-in-law and Sahib went to his palace and died. After some time, the Jat King  sent his son to find out whether Sahib was dead or not. As he peeked inside the palace window, the enraged sister Pallu beheaded him and hid his corpse in the palace. Similarly, in turn she killed here five brothers, to which Jat said-

Who goes inside..Never comes back..this is baffling (puzzling)
Pallu witch is eaten them or they were eaten by Kot Kilur.

Religious importance:

The town has temples of Mata Brahmani, Saraswati and Mahakali. It is built on the threshold of the old fort. Mata has far-reaching recognition. There is a flow of devotees throughout the year. The sculptures installed in the temple clearly reflect the Jain style of carving. The statues found were mostly engraved with Jain Tirthankaras, that’s clearly shows that earlier Jainsim was the most popular in this region. Presently Hinduism is practice widely.

While rebuilding houses in the inhabited fort, stone sculptures are found till date. Recently, during the excavation of the house of agricultural supervisor Bhanwar Singh Nai, the beautiful statue of Mahavir swamy came out, which was given to the administration. Today the statue is adorning the Jain temple in Sri Ganga Nagar. Still there are many remains buried in Thehad here.

In other places, Bodh Daduka Khejda is also famous in Johad (Dhab). It is believed to be around 1300 hundred years old. Lachha Doodan  wife of  Manak, who was son of  Janakrao of Sihag Gautra became sati from this Khejade.  Thus this place is famous  of the Khejda Sati Lachha Dudan. The temple of Veer Senapati named Sadul, Shiva temple; Panch Mukhi Balaji temple and the ancient tunnel of the fort are also visible in the town. In the past, there was a stepwell on the south-west part of the fort which now Ruins. In the past, Pallu town has been a colossal pillar of rich and prosperous civilization.

Archaeological significance:

The village had a lime fort before the middle Ages, was constructed in three phases and inhabited in those times. This area was also under the attack of Mahmud Ghaznavi in 1025 AD. Beyond the war stories described in history, its vivacity remains to this day. In the area of ​​hundreds of bigha land, even today, human bones are covered with indelible sheets of facts.

During the princely period, the Italian archivist Louis Piro Tessitori excavated the ancient Fort here in the year 1917. Many rare statue and coins etc. were found. They are housed in the Delhi and Bikaner museums. Swami Keshavanand also brought a lot of material from here to Sangria on camels which are still in the Gramotthan Museum in Sangria. With the death of the Tessitori, excavation here was interrupted and thus many mysteries related to the ancient civilization remained buried in the ground. During this time, the Director of Archeology and Swami Keshavananda planned to build a museum here. But due to the low budget, the museum could not be built.

In the town, the contents of full importance are scattered here and there. This precious heritage is being destroyed by the neglect and indifference of the Department of Archeology and Tourism. If archeology is given protection, there is still a lot that can be preserved.
