The present Kalwar family are the eighteenth descendents of Kalyan Singh, one of the sons of Maharaja Prithviraj of Amer ( later JAIPUR) who ruled from 1504 to 1547 AD. Kalyan Singh, a brave and tough warrior captured the Kalwar fort from another clan of Rajputs, the Narukas, in 1607 AD in a fierce battle. After this battle, some of the women folk of the Narukas commmited ‘johar’ i.e.they jumped to death in a burning pyre and the rest who hid themselves in the Charbhuja temple in the village were returned to the Narukas unharmed.
