 | | In the early 13th century, the Rathore Rajput clan fled west from the kingdom of Kannauj in northern India, which they had lost to the Sultanate of Delhi. |
 | | The Rathor family chronicles relate that Siyaji or Sheoji, grandson of Jai Chandra, the last Gahadvala Rathore king of Kannauj, came to Marwar on a pilgrimage to Dwarka in Gujarat, and on halting at the town of Pali he and his followers settled there to protect the Brahmin community from the raids of marauding bands. |
 | | Rao Chanda, tenth in succession from Siyaji, finally wrested control of Marwar from the Pratiharas. |
