Gadia Lohar

Their forefathers were blacksmiths in the army and the Lohar claim to be descendants of Maharana Pratap of Mewar.

When Mewar fell to the Mughals, Maharana Pratrap ran to the forest where he met these people who helped him and his family.

They pledged never to return to their homeland, never to settle anywhere else, and never to live under a roof until Maharana Pratap won Chittorgarh back.

But Maharana Pratap did not win Chittor back and hence the Lohars continue their pledge even today.
