History

Marwar region (Maru mandal, Marudhara, Maruwad, Maru Desh or Marwad) was once a sea called Drumkulya. When the Lord Rama fired a flaming arrow into the ground, a large part of the sea became a desert.

Origin

Sunari village was founded by the Birda clan of the Jat community in the 13th century. Four brothers from nearby Bainatha village insulted the son of Thakur who misbehaved with the sister of the Birda boys and cut off the water used to keep their cattle. The Birda family left Bainatha village in search of a new home.
