Rajpurohit a Title bestowed upon those learned Brahmins, who used to perform the rituals and rites for the Raja of some kingdoms. In the course of their service to the kingdom, according to ancient traditions, the king used to donate a few villages or land known as Sasan Jagir or Doli Jagir within his kingdom to their Rajpurohits. These villages or land were considered to be free from any ruler, and were outside the ambit of any form of tax. Also any member of Kshatriya clan were barred to reside in such jagirs. Even today, this is a fact in many parts of Rajasthan. Since in India, the majority of Rathori raj was prevalent in Rajasthan before the independence of India, the Rajpurohit caste is prominently found in Marwar & Godwad region of Rajasthan i.e. Jodhpur, Jalore, Pali, Nagaur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Churu & Sirohi districts of Rajasthan. Most of the Rajpurohits who live in other parts of India, can trace back their roots, up to one to two generations, back in some village of Rajasthan. However some parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh with their common boundary with Rajasthan do have members from Rajpurohit community residing in its territory for quite some time. Today the members of Rajpurohit community have spread across the width and breadth of the world. in jalore district .kunwarda sasan dudawat jagidar
