Takhatgarh town is named after the King of Jodhpur “Takhat Singh”. The story behind the establishment of Takhatgarh is interesting to read. Some people, who were not able to suffer the atrocities of the Thakurs, ran away and wanted to settle in the empire of Jodhpur State. When King Takhat Singh gave them permission to stay in his empire, the refugees expressed him their desire to establish a village on king’s name and to settle there.
As a part of building the village, they dug a well, but the water in it was not sweet. At that time they found an already dug well nearby and thus they took permission to settle there. There is an interesting myth related to this well called Pechka. It is believed that the dug was built by 60, 000 sons of King Sagar. People in Takhatgarh still depend on this well for drinking water.
Even after the settlement in Takhatgarh, Takur came here and one soldier of King Pir Singh was killed there in struggle with Thakur. Now Pir bavasi Majar is situated there. Takhatgarh’s Janma-Patrika prepared by Pandits and Pond, temples, Cremation place were established in Takhatgarh according to the Vtu in 1858. So Takhatgarh town is about 150 years old now.
