Rathor Dynasty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rathor Dynasty was a ruling dynasty in India.
Its origins can be traced back to Rao Shivaji of Palli, the Rao of Palli between 1226 or 1250 and 1273. Later scholars claim that he was a son of Set Ram, a descendant of Maharajadhiraj Jai Chand.
In 1273, after Shivaji's death, Rao Asthanji became the sovereign of Palli when he expelled the Mer caste and Mina tribe. He later became the Rao of Khed, now Rajasthan, through military conquest.
The later Rathors descended from Rao Shri Salkha's second son Rao Shri Viram Deo, whose son Rao Shri Chandra Sahib became the Rao of Mandore. The succession continued until Rao Shri Jodhaji Sahib became the Rao. He was eventually driven out of his capital by the man who killed his father, Chonda of Chittorgarh. The Rao later retook Mandore, though abandoned it and founded a new capital at Jodhpur. The Rathors established themselves in other states as well, first in Idar and later in Ahmednagar.
