The fort and the village of Auwa stand proud in the
Godwad area of Marwar heralding a history over 1000
years old. The fort and eighty villages and town
belonged to the Champawat Clan, the premier nobles of
the Jodhpur kingdom. The Champawat family still
resides in the Fort. Numerous battles and wars were
fought by the Auwa cheiftains against the Mughals,
Marathas, French and lastly the British.
In the Indian Mutiny of 1857 the Fort of Auwa
was laid siege to by the British Army for 6 months
and countless battles took place including the death
of Captain Mason whose cenotaph stands where he fell
in battle.
The fort & village still carry the scars of that
siege.
Auwa village and Fort was re-reconstructed once again
with the great determination of the people and the
Thakur of Auwa. Presently the fort houses a beautiful
constructed traditional home of the Thakurs of
Auwa.
