History
Dausa is situated in the historical region of Dundhar and served as its first capital. Prior to Indian independence in 1947, Dausa was part of the princely state of Jaipur ruled by the Kachhwaha Rajput dynasty. Originally governed by the Chauhan Rajputs in the 10th century CE, control passed to Kachhwaha Raja Sodh Dev (r. 996-1006 CE). He was succeeded by his son, Raja Dulha Rai, who ruled Dhundhar from Dausa for three decades before moving to Khoh in 1028 CE.
Dausa has given prominent freedom fighters to the nation. Tikaram Paliwal and Ram Karan Joshi gave their valuable contribution for the fight for independence and in formation of the state of Rajasthan. Tikaram Paliwal was elected the Chief Minister of Rajasthan in 1952. Ram Karan Joshi was the first Panchayati Raj Minister of Rajasthan who submitted the first Panchayati Raj Bill in the Vidhansabha in 1952.
The poet Sunderdas was born on Chaitra Shukla Navami in Vikram Samvat 1653 in Dausa. He was a renowned Nirgun Panthi Sant and wrote 42 Grantha, out of which Gyan Sundaram & Sunder Vilas are famous.
