The Rathor Dynasty was a ruling dynasty in
India .History
Its origins can be traced back to
Rao Shivaji of Palli , the Rao ofPalli 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 and Meenas. 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 ofChittorgarh . The Rao later retook Mandore, though abandoned it and founded a new capital atJodhpur . The Rathors established themselves in other states as well, first inIdar ,Sailana and later inAhmednagar .Current dynasty heads
