Dulha Rai was the founder of the Kachhwaha dynasty and also the 1st king from this dynasty who ruled the territory of Dhundhar, with his capital at Khoh in present-day Rajasthan. He started his rule from Dausa which he obtained as a dowry from the Chahamanas of Shakambhari. Making Dausa as his base, he started conquering the region of Dhundhar and soon was recognised as the ruler of this region by the Chahamanas after he successfully suppressed the rebellious Bargujar Rajputs. [4][5][6]
Duleh Rai (early-twelfth century), Kakil Dev (r. 1133-35), and Hanwant Dev (r. 1137-51).
The Kachhawas (also Kachchwahas) trace their descent from Kush, son of Lord Ram, and claim solar dynasty. Originally from Narwar, near Gwalior, they migrated to this part of Rajasthan, known as Dhoondhar in 967 CE and established their capital at Dausa.
After conquering Khoh Gong, Dulhe Rai first married the daughter of Ralan Singh of Lalsot and later to extend his power he also married Maroni, the daughter of Badgujar, and thus, entered into matrimonial alliance with the two Rajput states in the vicinity.
