Deora (clan)

The Deora dynasty traces its origin to Rao Lakha (Lakhan) of Nadol. Two theories describe the origin of Deoras. According to Nainsi ri Khyat, the wife of Asraj, a descendant of Chauhan Lakhan, was Devi Swaroop. Hence his descendants were called Deora. At the time when Vacachhadaldevi became his wife, Asraj's place was Nadol and Cheeba is also a branch of Deoras. Alternatively, the essence of Bankidas's statements is that the queen of Songare named Mahansi as a goddess. His son was Deva. His descendants are Deora. Along with this, the descendants of Deva's brothers Bala, Cheeba and Abah have been written as Deora.Sirohi sword was produced under the rule of the Deora Rajputs of Sirohi. The Deora's guru or royal priest (Rajpurohit) was the Udesh Rajpurohit, and the Udesh Rajpurohit is found in Sirohi and is also found in abundance in Sayla, Jalore. ==States==
