Chhoti Sadri is a city and a municipality in Pratapgarh district in the state of Rajasthan, India. It is situated near Neemuch on the Ajmer-Khandwa railway line.
This place was famous for a temple of Devi built in the 5th century AD. This temple is now known as Bhavar Mata Ji just 3 km away from the center of the city. Initially known as the City of Gold (Swarna Nagari), Chhotisadri has been gradually developed in an urban area with a Panchayat Samiti and a Nagar Palika, though the city doesn't figure in the Indian Railways Map yet.
The rule of Gora clan Kshatriyas has been mentioned in an inscription found in Bhavar Mata (Hindi: भवर माता) temple on a hillock near village 'Chhoti Sadri' (Hindi: छोटी सादड़ी) in Pratapgarh. It is in Brahmi script and Sanskrit language. Pandit Gauri Shankar Hirachand Ojha has written about the inscription of 'Chhoti Sadri' in an article published in Nagari pracharini-patrika, part 13, issue-1 under the title Gaur namak agyat kshatriya vansh - गौर नामक अज्ञात क्षत्रिय वंश.
