Where Chapasar stands in the records

There is one possible trace. The Census of Marwar 1941 lists a Phalodi-pargana village written Chanpasar — a spelling close to Chapasar, and the village-records slug for this place is champasar. But that census row appears to record the village as khalsa (crown land) under the Pokarana clan rather than as a Patawat jagir, and the scan is not clear enough to be sure the row even refers to this village.

We are publishing that reading rather than hiding it. It may point to a different village of a similar name; or it may be correct for 1941 while the village’s association with Patawat Pargana belongs to an earlier period, since villages passed between houses and in and out of khalsa more than once — Chimana is a documented case of exactly that. Until someone checks the original page, nothing here is settled.

What would settle it

• Any patta, jagir paper or land record naming the village and the family that held it.
• A photograph of the 1941 census row for this village, or of any settlement or revenue register that lists it.
• Inscriptions on memorial stones, temples or step-wells in or near the village — these often carry a name and a Samvat year.
• A family tree, old photograph or letter kept in the village, particularly anything with names and a date written on it.
• What the elders say: which family founded it, which branch they belonged to, and roughly when. Recorded as oral tradition and marked as such.
