Description of Our Community: Bhondsi, an ancient village, bears witness to a rich tapestry of communities, primarily influenced by the Suryavanshi Raghav Rajputs who have inhabited this region since the 12th century. The residents of this locale are renowned for their profound cultural, traditional, and religious convictions, exemplifying a steadfast commitment to their motherland. Emerging from the illustrious civilization of Rajhurgarh Rajputs in Rajasthan, they trace their roots back to the venerable guidance of their kuldevi, Ashavari Mata.
The denizens of Bhondsi are distinguished by their fervent martial spirit, mastery in weaponry arts, military prowess, wrestling, boxing acumen, and deeply ingrained ancestral beliefs. This population not only boasts a regal lineage but also holds within its annals tales of formidable wartime exploits. The annals recount instances where both men and women displayed remarkable valor in safeguarding the motherland and the community. Additionally, spanning generations, the people of Bhondsi have embraced the teachings of the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita, shaping their lives in accordance with moral principles that serve as an exemplary beacon for neighboring civilizations.
In the spirit of this profound heritage, let us invoke the timeless wisdom encapsulated in Sanskrit shlokas:
"??????????????????? ?? ????? ?????? ?? ?????????????????? ?? ??????????????????"
"You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, nor be attached to inaction."
