Chimana in the records

The grant records tell Chimana's story in two stages: in S.1903 (1846 CE) Maharaja Takhat Singh gave the village to Sagat Singh — the entry adds that Nausar was returned the same year in exchange — and that after some sixty years the village passed to the khalsa (state lands). The Census of Marwar 1941 agrees: Chimana appears there as a khalsa village of 2,000 rekh, no longer in jagir.
