Kotharia State
Origins
Kotharia was held by a branch of the Jadeja Rajputs of Rajkot, who granted lands to younger sons as their share. The register dates its separate existence to around 1700.
Rule and society
The Thakor ruled a small group of villages and, after 1807, came under British supervision in the Kathiawar Agency as a minor non-salute state. Little else is recorded in standard references.
Decline and legacy
Kotharia merged into the United State of Saurashtra in 1948 and became part of Gujarat in 1960. It is now a suburb area of Rajkot.
Few sources survive for this state; details are uncertain.
