  Rathore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A family known to us as the "Gahadvala" dynasty gained control of Kannauj and ruled for nearly a century; their best-known dynast was Jaichand, their last king.
The Gahadvalas were displaced from Kannauj by the invasion, in 1194 CE, of Muhammad of Ghor.
It is said that a Sheoji, a surviving grandson of Jaichand, made his way into the western desert with a group of faithful followers, finally settling in the town of Pali in Marwar, which was ruled by another branch of the Pratiharas.

 Ayodhya: lost and found
Readers may be interested to know that on the basis of this finding, some scholars now surmise that a Hindu temple may have been destroyed by invading iconoclasts around the eleventh century, and a mosque erected.

While it is premature to comment on this theory, it could explain the insistence of Muslim historians that the Babri mosque was erected over a previously extant mosque, rather than a Hindu temple.
