PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: Maroth is one of the ancient-most towns of Rajasthan and due to its strategic location as a Frontier town it has been the headquarter of the Johiyas, Chandels, Bhatis, and Gaurs, before the Mertia dynasty rule (1659/1708 AD). In sortha (Rajasthani poetry), the gadh or fort of Marot is compared to that of Jodhpur, Jaipur and Bundi. The state was founded by Maharaja Raghunath Singh, second son of Rao Sanwaldas of Punlota, son of Rao Govinddas, one of the 14 sons of Rao Jaimal. He captured Maroth pargana (Gaurawati) from the Gaur Rajputs with the help of his relatives, the Ladkhani Shekhawat rulers of Rewasa and the Chatrabhujot Rajawats of Bagru, one of the 12 Chambers of Jaipur Royal Family, and established an independent state having 11,56,000 bigha land. Maroth State was divided into two states of 949 km² each by Maharaja Bijay Singh I of Abhaypura (Jiliya) and Maharaja Sabal Singh of Minda, while jagirs of Lunwa, Panchota and Panchwa were granted as appanages. In 1710, Raja Ajit Singh of Jodhpur annexed the Maroth territory and established his own administrator Mayaram there, but had to surrender it back in 1722 AD to Badshah who re-confirmed the ownership of territories of the pargana.

The principality of Abhaypura alias Jiliya - Senior was founded in 1683 AD (1740 BS) by Maharajadhiraj Maharaja Bijay Singh, son of Maharajadhiraj Maharaja Raghunath Singh of Maroth 1659/1683 AD. It was named Abhaypura either after Maharaja Abhai Singh 1724/1749 AD of Jodhpur, or Maharaja Abhayraj Chauhan (Abhaypal) of ancient kingdom of Nadol. It comprised of half of Maroth State i.e., around 961 km², including jagir of 75 horses, share in Sambhar Lake, half share in Sibsagar district in Assam, 40 villages of Maroth Sarkar (under Ajmer Suba) having seven parganas or mahals - Maroth (then a prosperous town with 6 Forts), Jiliya (2 Forts), Chandpura, Shiv (1 Fort), Nohanpura, Anandpura (1 Fort), Aspura, Charanwas, Abhaypura, Daro Ka Was, Sanwat Garh, Mundghasoi, Bataliya, Lichana, Ghatwa, Hudeel (isarda or lease given to Ladkhanis). It was sequestrated during the reign of Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jiliya, but his son Durjansal Singh abducted the children of the confiscator, the Nawab of Tonk, thereby resuming control over it after which a sandhi (treaty) was concluded wherein it was proclaimed that their armies will never fight against Jiliya. As against the Sirayats, Nobles & Chieftains of Marwar holding lands on the tenure of service, the rulers of Abhaypura owe nominal allegiance and offer service only during emergencies, being the allodial vassals (independent principalities) of Marwar, such as Barmer, Jasol, Kalindri and Borunda. The Chief had the honours of Sona-naresh, Rajshree, Morchal or Chanwar, Ranjit Naqqara (kettledrum), Hathiband, Palki (Palanquin), Laggi or Nishan (Pachranga Flag), Gyara Top Salami (11 Gun Salute), etc, whom Jodhpur Maharaja receives in Darbar by rising from the seat, taking steps, and hugging. Thikana Court - the Thikanedar was a First grade Jagirdar authorized to try civil suits not exceeding Rs. 1000 in value and to pass a sentence of six months imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 300 and in default three months jail.
