The oldest and greatest Prajapati caste of the world is considered to be the child of Daksha Prajapati, son of Lord Brahma. Prajapati is a caste of dutiful, hard-working and self-respecting. They never steal or steal, and never snatches away from anyone. The Hindu caste is very honest, devout, contented and has deep faith in God, so according to the widely accepted Hindu beliefs in ancient times, they are honored as Prajapati as well as "Bhagat Ji".

It has been a tradition for centuries that religious ceremonies are not considered complete without worshiping chalk makers who make pottery on the occasion of marriage ceremony. Because Lord Shrihari Vishnu ji gave his Sudarshan Chakra to Prajapati, that's why by chalk worship, in a way the superiority of Prajapati caste is accepted and respected. The continuous attacks of barbaric Muslim invaders destroyed many great traditions of Hinduism. In the absence of complete information, today their nature has changed to a great extent.
Right from the early period of creation, it is undeniably called Prajapati, that is, it is not a weak or inferior caste. Prajapati means the protector of the subjects who follow the subjects. Prajapati is also considered an "Adi Guru", that's why sages and saints who know the heart and ancient beliefs of Hinduism never pierce the ears of a Prajapati caste while giving initiation to sannyas ashram.
Mantras such as Om Prajapatya Swaha are chanted for a few special reasons on the auspicious occasions of marriage (panigrahan rites) and havan-yajna.
