What it does
What it offers
Patawat Pargana gathers, checks and safeguards the community’s shared heritage in one trusted digital home.
The Patawat Rathores trace their lineage to Rao Pato Ji Rathore. The project has documented 29 of roughly 48 Patawat villages across the old Marwar region so far, among them Aau, Chottila, Karnu, Amla and Luna, and is building family trees that link today’s families back to that shared ancestor.
Families can take part by registering, by sharing old documents, photographs, family trees and manuscripts, or by helping with research and village documentation. Work under way includes a memorial and statue of Rao Pato Ji and the family genealogy project; a digital heritage library, village documentation, a community education campus and a scholarship fund are proposed.
- Genealogy and family trees from Rao Pato Ji
- A directory of 29 Patawat villages
- A source-checked archive of history, manuscripts and memories
- Families can add their own history to the archive
