Dulha Rai was a king from the Kachhwaha dynasty who ruled the territory of Dhundhar, with his capital at Khoh in present-day Rajasthan.[1][2][3]
History
The Kachwaha Rajputs claim descent from Kusha, son of the legendary Rama. Their ancestors allegedly migrated from Rama's kingdom of Kosala and established a new dynasty at Gwalior.[4][5] After 31 generations, they moved to Rajputana and created a kingdom at Dhundhar.
Some historians associate Dulha Rao, the founder of the Jaipur Kachhwaha lineage, with the Kachchhapaghata dynasty that ruled over a part of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in 10th century. It is possible that Dulha Rao descended from the Narwar branch of this dynasty.[6] VS Bhargava associates Dulha with the successor of the last ruler of the Nawar branch, Tejaskaran.
According to Jadunath Sarkar, Dulha's grandfather Ishwar Singh, the ruler of Narwar, renounced his throne and divided his estate among his younger brother and his nephew and travelled North of Chambal to live a life of religious recluse. After his death, his son Sodo crowned himself king again but soon died and was succeeded by his son Dulha who built support for his cause and soon received the fort of Dausa in dowry from the Chauhans of Lalsot.[7] M. L. Sharma suggests that Dulha was placed in Dausa particularly to help fight the Bargujar chief who partly controlled the city.[8] Dulharai defeated Alan Singh Chanda, the ruler of the Chanda dynasty and captured Dhudhand.[9] Dulha Rao soon defeated the Meenas of Khoh and Manchi and later completed the conquest of Dhundhar by defeating the Bargurjar after which he was granted the captured land by the Chauhans.[10][11] Dulha chose Khoh as his capital after Dausa.[12]
