Motisar (caste)

Motisar is an Indian community from Rajasthan and Gujarat known for folk-poetry.

[1][2][3][4][5] Motisars claim they were originally Rajputs of Jhala, Khichi, Parihar and other clans, who became devotees & worshippers of Avad Mata.

The goddess Avad granted these devotees the divine gift of poetry.

[4] Motisars functioned as one of the genealogist castes for the Charans.

[4][6][7] In the past, Motisars would leave their homes after Dussehra and visit the villages of Charans who patronised them.
