Dadhivadia is a sub-clan of Deval-Charanas who held the sasan estate of Dadhwada, which was located in Merta tehsil, Nagaur.
Henceforth, due to the political turmoil, the families of Deval-Charanas started migrating to other regions and kingdoms, such as Marwar, Mewar, Bikaner and Jaipur, where they became known as Dadhivadia, signifying their origin from Dadhwada.
[2] Lineages of the clan include the Madhodasot, Mukandasot, Dvarkadasot, Prayagdasot, Harbhanot, Venidasot, and Mokamdasot Dadhivadia.
Dadhivadia Jaitsinh, poet and scholar in Kumbha's court, was granted the jagir of Dharta and Gotipa (Naharmagra pargana).
[8] Chundaji (grandson of Mandan Dadhivadia) was a saint-poet and authored several texts (no longer extant) - Rāmalīlā, Chāṇakya-Vel, and Nimandhabandha.
Mukandas, the forefather of Mukandasot-Dadhivadia, died in 1730, fighting valiantly in the Battle of Ahemdabad (Siege of Ahmedabad) against Sarbuland Khan.
He was a close friend of Abhai Singh of Marwar who composed marsiya in his memory and granted the estate of Kooprawas (Bilara pargana) to his descendants.
[5] Dwarikadas, ancestor of Dvarkadasot-Dadhivadia, also a veteran of Battle of Ahemdabad,[6] was a respected poet-scholar and was honored by Abhai Singh of Marwar with the sasan of Basni-Dadhivadian (in Pali pargana).
