'''Jaswantpura''' is a village in the [[Jalore district|Jahlore district]] of [[Rajasthan]], [[India]]. It is the headquarters of Panchayat Samiti (block) and a part of the Jaswantpura subdivision; before 1947, it was the headquarters of the [[Pargana]]. The village was declared a [[tehsil]] in the Rajasthan budget 2012–13,<ref>[http://www.finance.rajasthan.gov.in/speech/1213/budgetspeech201213.pdf Rajasthan Budget 2012-13]</ref> and is named after the ruler of [[Marwar]], [[Jodhpur]]: [[Jaswant Singh of Marwar|Maharaja Jaswant Singh]].

==History==
Raja Mansingh Pratihara was ruling the [[Bhinmal]], Jalore when the [[Parmar]] emperor [[Vakpati Munja]] invaded it after defeating ManSingh he divided conquered territories equally among his four sons- this event ended almost 250year old [[Pratihara]] rule over bhinmal<ref>राव गणपतसिंह चितलवाना, भीनमाल का संस्कृतीक वैभव, पृ। ४६- ४ ९</ref>
Deval Singh Pratihara, son of Raja Man Pratihar, was a contemporary of King Mahipala Parmar of Abu (1000–1014 AD). King Devalsinh made several attempts to free his country or to reestablish the Pratihara hold on Bhinmal, but in vain. He settled for territories in the southwest of Bhinmal, consisting of four hills - Dodasa, Nadavana, Kala-Pahad and Sundha. He made Lohiana (present Jaswantpura) his capital. His descendants came to be known as Dewal Rajputs<ref>राव गणपतसिंह चितलवाना, भीनमाल का संस्कृत वैभव, पृ। 49</ref> Gradually, his jagir consisted of 52 villages in and around the modern Jalore district.today these villages are populated by his descendants.The Loyana Garh is the capital of a thikana of 52 villages (Kalapura to Karada) of Deval Rajputs.

Legends in [[Padmanābha]]'s ''[[Kanhadade Prabandha]]'' (15th century) and ''[[Nainsi ri Khyat]]'' (17th century) claim that a daughter of the [[Delhi Sultanate|Delhi Sultan]] [[Alauddin Khalji]] fell in love with [[Viramadeva]] ("Viramade"). The ''Kanhadade Prabandha'' names the Delhi princess as Piroja, and mentions that Alauddin offered to marry her to the Viramadeva, stating the couple had also been married in several previous births.{{sfn|Romila Thapar|2005|p=124}}He even visited Jalor, where he was treated well because he behaved like a Hindu.{{sfn|Romila Thapar|2005|p=125}} However, the Chahamana prince Viramadeva rejected the offer as an insult.{{sfn|Romila Thapar|2005|p=124}} leading to Alauddin's invasion of Jalore.The Deval Pratihara Rajputs of jaswantpura participated in the resistance along with Chauhan emperor [[Kanhadadeva]] and his son [[Viramadeva]] of Jalore against [[Alauddin Khilji]].The prince was later killed in a battle.{{sfn|Romila Thapar|2005|p=125}}

During his struggle against the Mughal emperor [[Akbar]],, [[Maharana Pratap]] stayed in Loyana Garh for some time and married the daughter of Loyana Garh [[Thakur (title)|Thakur]] Rai Dhaval Singh Dewal. Later, Maharana Pratap gave the title of [[Rana (title)|Rana]] to Rai Dhaval.<ref>राव गणपतसिंह चितलवाना, भीनमाल का संस्कृत वैभव, पृ। । 50- 53</ref>

There was a misunderstanding between the Maharajas of [[Jodhpur]] and Loyana Garh. The Sardars of Loyana Garh rebelled against the then [[Maharaja Jaswant Singh]] of Jodhpur, who quelled the rebellion after two failed attempts. After he conquered Loyana Garh, he changed its name to Jaswantpura.
