Rajasthan, earth of princes, consisted many small kingdoms
ruled over by clans who warred dependably for domination and separately tried
to stem the tide of the Islamic intrusions. The clans were all Rajputs.
According to the Hindu Mythology, the Rajputs of Rajasthanwere the descendants of the Kshatriyas or warriors of Vedic India. The emergence
of the Rajput warrior clans was in the 6th and 7th centuries. Rajputs parentage
can be divided into two: the "solar" or suryavanshi-those condescended
from Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, and the "crescent" or
chandravanshi, who claimed ancestry from Krishana, the hero of the epic
Mahabharata. Later a third clan was imparted, the agnikula or fire-born, said
to have egressed from the flamings of a sacrificial fire on Mt Abu.
Bappa Rawal was one of the most herculean and famous rulers
of the Mewar Dynasty. Although a surviving member of the Guhilot clan, Prince
Kalbhoj (his actual name) did not continue the family name of seven generations
when he came to the throne; rather, he accomplished the Mewar Dynasty, naming
it for the kingdom he had just taken. He succeeded to the throne in 1179 CE at
the age of 11, and ruled from the twin capitals of Ajmer and Delhi.
His reign was one of elaboration and integration. Kumbha was
a remarkable ruler. He was a great general and disappointed the Sultans of
Malwa and Gujarat. He built the forts at Kumbalgarh, Achalgarh, and Mandalgarh.
He erected the Tower of Victory at Chittor and built innumerable temples. He
was a scholar of Sanskrit and a fine musician. He wrote several comments on
musical treatises. He was a liberal ruler and during his reign the beautiful
Jain temples at Ranakpur were built.
Maharana Udai Singh was a king of Mewar and the beginner of
the city of Udaipur in the present day Rajasthan He was the 53rd ruler of the
Mewar dynasty. He was the fourth and posthumous son of Maharana Sangram Singh
