Todaraisingh: [p.162] Todaraisingh is famous for its ancient monuments. it was a capital of the Solankis from 15th to 16th century AD. The Bijoliya inscription of Vikram era 1226 records its name as Takshak Gadh, where a Jain temple was built by the ancestors of Shrishti Lolak. During the Solanki period, a good number of Jain MSS were copied here. During the reign of Shahjahan it was granted as a Jagir to Raisingh son of Bhim Sisodiya. He patronized all religious faiths. There are three Neshidhikas bearing the inscription of Vikram era 1274, 1649 and 1589.

Anwa is another important town situated near Todaraisingh. Several icons having inscriptions dated Vikram era 1221, 1223 and 1248 were noticed here.

टोडारायसिंह

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[7] ने लेख किया है ...टोडारायसिंह राजस्थान के ऐतिहासिक स्थानों में से एक है। हाड़ा रानी का कुंड इस स्थान का प्राचीन स्मारक है। यह राजस्थान की मध्य युगीन शिल्प कला का सुंदर उदाहरण है।

ऐतिहासिक प्रमाण

शिलालेखों और साहित्यिक ग्रंथों में इसके नाम हैं - तक्षकगढ़, तक्षकपुर, टोडापत्तन, इष्टिकापुर आदि इसकी प्राचीन इतिहास उपलब्ध नहीं है. उपलब्ध साक्ष्यों से पता चलता है कि ईसा की प्रथम शताब्दी के आसपास यह क्षेत्र मालवगण के अधीन था. जिनकी राजधानी कर्कोटक नगर थी जो नगर नाम से टोंक जिले की उणियारा आज भी विद्यमान है. पौराणिक मान्यताएं इस कसबे का सम्बन्ध नागवंशियों से जोड़ती हैं जो इसके तक्षकगढ़, तक्षकपुर नाम से भी स्पस्ट होता है जिनका राज्य यहाँ तीसरी-चौथी शताब्दी ई. के लगभग जाता है. इसके अरावली पर्वत माला के जिस पर्वतांचल में यह क़स्बा बसा है वह तक्षकगिरी कहलाती है. तथा अम्बासागर के उत्तरी छोर वाली नाग के फन की आकृति वाली पर्वतीय चट्टान ताख़ाजी के नाम से लोक उपासना का केंद्र है. [8]


ऐतिहासिक प्रमाणों से ज्ञात होता है कि सातवीं-आठवीं शताब्दी ईस्वी के लगभग यहाँ पर चाटसू (चाकसू) के गुहिल शासकों का राज्य था. तदनन्तर टोडा पर विभिन्न कालों में चावड़ा, प्रतिहार, चौहान, सोलंकी, कछवाहा, सिसोदिया आदि क्षत्रियों का राज्य रहा. तथा लल्लाखां पठान, दिल्ली के मुस्लिम सुल्तानों और मुगल बादशाहों का वर्चस्व रहा. [9]

सिसोदिया सामंत शासक रायसिंह के निर्माण में महत्वपूर्ण योगदान के कारण टोडा के साथ उनका नाम जोड़कर टोडारायसिंह कहलाने लगा. [10]

प्राचीन धरोहरों में प्रमुख हैं - कालाकोट के भीतर बना चौहान कालीन राघोरायजी का मंदिर, सोलंकी नरेश राव किल्हण (कल्याण) की रानी सीता कुंवर द्वारा निर्मित कल्याण जी का मंदिर, गोपीनाथजी का मंदिर, चतुर्भुजजी का मंदिर, वाराहदेवी का मंदिर, भूतेश्वर मंदिर आदि [11]

650 वर्ष पूर्व टोडा नरेश राव रूपाल की हाड़ी रानी द्वारा निर्मित विशाल कुंड, जगन्नाथ कछवाह द्वारा निर्मित बावड़ी, भोपत बावड़ी, ईसर बावड़ी और सारड़ा बावड़ी मुख्य बावड़ी हैं. तालाबों में बुध सागर, खरोलाव, अम्बा सागर (आमला) मुख्य हैं. [12]

बिजोलिया शिलालेख में यहाँ श्रेष्ठि लोलक के पूर्वजों द्वारा जैन देवालय के निर्माण का उल्लेख है. [13]
