Thathera people say that they are descended from the Haihay kings which was a very old Hindu dynasty. They moved from Rajasthan in the 1800s and came to live in Rewari, located in the small north Indian state of Haryana. The Thatheras are Rajputs who are divided into 47 clans.
Thathera people live in northern India in states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The Thatheras earn a living in metal work and selling and repairing of household utensils. Many are cultivators of land. In Bihar, many are jewelers.
They have a caste council to settle problems to do with such things as divorce and property.
Thathera people speak primarily Hindi. Many Bible resources have been produced in Hindi.
Thathera people are Hindus and worship many gods. They celebrate most Hindu festivals.
The greatest need of Thathera people is to know the almighty God who created them. They need to know that there is no God beside Him.
