sentences:  The history of Baphna clan prior to Jodhraj Baphna is rather sketchy and speculations are that few generations before Jodhraj Baphna; as Tiloli was being founded, the Baphnas may have migrated from one of the nearby regions (Tiloli is strategically at the cusp of both Mewar and Marwar regions) to fill in the traders’ roles.With the patronage of Tiloli’s Thakurs and their own industriousness they rose to become the most prominent family of the area.All of the Jains in Tiloli are followers of Acharya Bhikshu’s and his successors who follow Shwetamber Terapanthi traditions.
