Clan History
The ruling family of Kuchesar belonged to the Dalal clan of the Jat caste. Mr. Crook in his book “The Tribes and Castes of the north western provinces and Avadh” writes about the origin of the Dalal clan of Jats. He recounts that in the village of Sillauti, located in the Rohtak district of Haryana, there lived in a long-bygone era a man by name Dhanna Rai, who belonged to the Jat caste. He married a woman of the Badgujar Rajput caste. They had three sons, by name Deswal, Dalle and Maan. The descendants of the three brothers formed three major lineages (gotras) and came to be known as Deswal, Dalal and Maan Jats respectively.
A part of the Kuchesar Fort is now a heritage hotel.
