Kuchera is a town and a municipality in Nagaur district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It was settled by Rao Kajal Singh Gehlot. He was a descendant of Bappa Rawal. He left Chittorgarh to settle Kuchera Town after 8th Century.[1]
On conquering Ahmedabad Maharaja Abhey Singh awarded a village known as Kuchera to the Mirdha family.
