History
About the history of Dhaneti, the village holds a special place in the annals of Kutch Gurjar Kshatriya or Mistris of Kutch, who entered Kutch and fought a battle on the land of the Dhaneti village in late the 12th century around 1177–78 A.D. (V.S. 1234) and got themselves established and settled at this village under the leadership of Patel Ganga Maru.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Even today, intricate paliyas or memorial stones of their dadas or shurapuras (the ancestors who died while fighting) and deris (pyre alters) of their Satis are standing there near the village pond and other areas of the village, as a mute witness to the war that was fought on this land by these Gurjar Kshatriyas, who are known as Mistris of Kutch.[7] Today, almost a thousand years after the war, the community people visit Dhaneti to pay respect to these memorial stones, built in memory of their forefathers, who gave up their lives fighting to defend their next generations.[7][8]
