"The
Story of Creation - The World of Mewar", is our first attempt in portraying
the birth of our civilisation and the evolution of our time-honoured values.
The
focus has been on rediscovering our heritage and making it relevant to
our changing times. The eternal values, enshrined in our Puranic literature
and the Epics, will continue to remain our strength and our inspiration,
however much our world may change.
As
the present custodian of the House of Mewar, I thank you for visiting our
site. In the years to come, this site will grow in splendour and will be
enriched by research and insight on every aspect of our civilisation. The
site will bloom, quite like a tree, and in its glory we will rediscover
facets of our heritage.
We
have divided this section into two parts - The Lineage of Mewar and the
Ancestry of the House of Mewar. The Lineage of Mewar traces our descent
from the Sun up to Guhaditya (569 A.D.). The Ancestry of the House of Mewar
begins from there, and continues up to the present.
To
capture the essence of the past, we have referred to the Rig-Veda, the
Vishnu Purana, Ramayana and Mahabharata and commentaries by learned personalities
and historians. For the genealogical history of Mewar, we have drawn heavily
from 'Veer Vinod', the 19th century epic of Shyamaldas, and, of course,
Col James Tod who remains the pioneering chronicler of British India.
May
our heritage continue to unite us and inspire us in the years to come.
