Gadwa Rathore was living in a village Bhakri near Ajmer. He adopted Jainism and Oswal cast because Shri Jindutt Suri impressed him. His family was known as Gadwani.

Gadwaji was a short-tempered person. He became angry even at a joke. So some persons called him Bhadgatiya.

Kuldevi of these gotras is Shri Osiya Mataji, Osiya.
