PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: The ancestors of the family migrated from Chittorgarh, the home of the Sisodia rulers, during the period of Rana Sanga due to the internal strife. Chandrawats are descendants of Chandaji, a scion of Rana branch settled at Sisoda. A later descendant was granted Rampura in Rampura Bhanpura pargana of Neemuch District of M.P. in late 15th century. Rampura remained their principal seat until the estate was granted to Maharaja Madho Singh of Jaipur by Mewar in 1728. The Chandrawats were then left with the thikana of Sankotra for their maintenance. One of the Chandrawat Baisa married Maharaja Madho Singh of Jaipur and because of this relationship, they were granted jagirs in Jaipur. Later they were granted a jagir in Alwar also. Sankotra Fort was built in the 17th century, and is situated 48kms from Jaipur old city, and is surrounded by the Aravali ranges. Sankotra was one of the four tazimi thikana of Chandrawat Sisodias.
