Delwara
Delwara (देलवाडा), nestled in the Aravalli Range (अरावली) hills, is about 28 km away from Udaipur, Mewar (a former state in present day Rajasthan) and close to Eklingji Temple, on way to temple town of Nathdwara, in the state of Rajasthan, India. Delwara was originally known as ‘Devkul Patan Nagri’ (देवकुल पाटन नगरी) which means the town of god. It boasted of over 1500 temples at one time, out of which there were over 400 Jain temples. Delwara was the center of learning and culture before 15th century AD. Around middle of 13th century, Raja Sagar, a Deora Chauhan and a descendant of Rao Kirtipal of Jalore was a very brave king of Delwara (Mewar). Descendants of Raja Sagar sacrificed their lives whilst fighting alongside Ranas of Mewar against Muslim invaders. Raja Sagar was the progenitor of Bothra clan of Oswals. Sagar's son, Kunwar Bohitya was immensely influenced and inspired by Jain philosophy.  Samdhar, a grandson of Bohitya and a Deora Chauhan, was the first man in his genealogy to convert to Jainism.
