Durgadas Rathore (Durga Das Rathore) (13 August 1638 - 22 November 1718) is a famous personality in the annals of Marwar. He is credited with having single-handedly preserved the rule of the Rathore dynasty over Marwar (Jodhpur) after the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh in the 17th century
His fearless and truthful disposition prompted Maharaja Jaswant Singh ji-I of Marwar Jodhpur to prophesy that this lad will one day be the saviour of Marwar. Maharaja Jaswant Singh ji-I while serving as Subedar in Afghanistan breathed his last at Jamrud. Two princes were born posthumously. Veer Durgadas and his trusted lieutenants foiled all attempts of the Emperor Aurangzeb to imprison them in Delhi and brought them out of the siege but only Maharaja Ajit Singhji survived. For 30 years they fought a restless war of independence till Maharaja Ajit Singhji was restored to the Gaddi (throne) of Marwar-Jodhpur. During this period it was Veer Durgadas who concealed and brought up the minor Ajit Singh, rallied the loyalists and shunned all favours from Mughal Court and demonstrated rare qualities as a statesman, General, diplomat and guardian. His fame and National patriot. A devotee of Maha Kaleshwar he breathed his last at Ujjain and was cremated on the bank of Shipra on the 22nd November, 1718AD where his Chhatri still stands.
