History
Kuchaman was founded as the seat of the Pratihara dynasty rulers during the 5th to 8th centuries CE. In the 16th century, it was conquered by the Chauhans and later by the Gaurs. The Rathores finally took over and ruled it as a feudal jagir. Historically, Kuchaman was a stop on the highly profitable Central Asian caravan route.
According to legend, the mountain range where Kuchaman is located was once inhabited by the Kuchbandhis, and the town likely derives its name from them. The region, including Kuchbandia and its surrounding areas, was dominated for a long time by the Gaur Kshatriyas. This is supported by inscriptions of the Gaur rulers found at Hirani, Mithadi, Lichana, and other nearby locations. Their capital was Maroth, an ancient city of historical significance.
In 1715 AD, Raja Raghunath Singh Maroth assumed suzerainty over the Kuchaman Fort. Mandore was also one of the seven cantonments built by Nagabhata. In the 13th century, the Kingdom of Marwar (Jodhpur State) was established by the rulers of Mandore and Mandore gained control of the Kuchaman fort in the 15th century Jodhpur took control of the entire Marwar region including the Kuchaman Fort. Gaudawati was also part of Marwar.
