The Statue of “Veer Durgadas Rathore” was unveiled on his 385th birth anniversary in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur.
He was the Rathore Rajput General of the Kingdom of Marwar.
Durgadas single-handedly preserved the rule of the Rathore dynasty over Marwar (Jodhpur) after the death of Maharaja Jaswant Singh in the 17th century.
He commanded the Rathore forces during the Rajput War (1679–1707).
He played a major role in the Rajput Rebellion (1708–1710) which became one of the main reasons for the decline of the Mughal Empire.
He was elected as the leader of the revolt along with Raja Jai Singh II of Jaipur.
