It is said that their ancestor ''Rajpurohit Devpal Dev Ji'' came to Marwar with [[Rao Sheoji]] [[Rathore]] from [[Kannauj]]. A family known to us as the "[[Gahadvala]]" dynasty ruled [[Kannauj]] in 12th century AD; their best-known dynast was Raja [[Jaichand of Kannauj|Jaichand]], their last king. The Gahadvalas were displaced from Kannauj by the invasion, in 1194 CE, of [[Muhammad of Ghor]]. It is said that Rao Sheoji, a surviving grandson of Jaichand, on pilgrimage to [[Dwarka|Dwarika]] along with ''Rajpurohit Devpal Dev'' around 1272 samvatsari, met a few [[Paliwal]] [[Brahmins]] at [[Pushkar]]. [[Pali]] was a flourishing and prosperous trade center en route Persia, central Asia and Middle-East and beyond. It was governed by local brahmins. The Brahmins requested Rao Sheoji to come to Pali and help them get rid of local tribal people and marauding bands, who were harassing and looting them time to time. Rao Sheoji and his fellow men defeated tribal chiefs first and eventually succeeded in conquering Pali from the brahmins as well. This was the first conquest of Rathores in present day [[Marwar]] and paved the way for building up of Rathori Raj. Then they expanded to ''Khed'' near today's [[Balotra]] defeating [[Gahlot]] Rajputs, and slowly with time conquered [[Malani]] region from other local [[Rajput]] clans. Rajpurohit Devpal Dev was given many villages as [[jagir]]. The services lent by Rajpurohits to the state was rewarded with more jagiri lands by Rathore kingdom during the course of timeProminent Sewad villages are Sinla, Kanodiya purohitan, Baori Khurd, Baori Kalan, Bada Khurd, Kalyanpura([[Churu]]), Dewal ([[Tonk, India|Tonk]]), Barli Bhairu Ji Ki, Badabas ([[Osyian]]),Bhatnokha, Thob, Roopawas, Tunkalia, Chavnadiya khurd, Kheapa, Bhensar, Tinwri, Bhensar Kotwali, Mohrai, Talkiya, Bikarlai, Mahabar, Bhawnda, Kharabera, Ghewra, Ghantiyala, Narwa Khurd(Nagaur), Dhandora, Khichan, Kisnasar, Ratanpura, Bitti, Panchlodiya, Rupawas, Surayata.chenoniyo ki dhani(BARMER)Bhojas(Bikaner)
