The Name Sirohi had been derived by "Siranwa" hills on the Western Slope of which it stands. Colonel Tod in his book "Travels in Western India" has suggested that the names of the territory might have derived from its position at the head (Sir) of the desert (Rohi), Sirohi also named as "Sword" and this had led some people to believe that this State of brave Deora Chauhans received it present name due to its wide spread fame of its Swords. In 1405, Rao Sobha Ji (Sixth in descent from Rao Deoraj, the Progenitor of the Deora Clan of Chauhans ) founded a town Shivpuri on eastern slope of Siranwa hill which is called KHUBA. Relics of the old city is found there and a pivious place of Virji is still a place of worship. Ancient History "SIROHI" as Colonel Mellson rightly remarked "is the one domain in Rajputana which maintained its Independence, acknowledging the suverainty of neither Mugal, Rathores, nor Maratha" . The princely house at Sirohi is an offshoot of the same branch, Chauhan, to which the last Hindu Emperor of India belchged. Historic pride Clings to masses as much as to Individuals, Condueing to honorable pride when rightly felt, and to none can it therefore cling more firmly than to "the Magnificiently Stubborn Deora," the particular seet at the Chauhans who have ruled over Sirohi during the past six centuries. |
