Marwar and beyond

The Rathores gradually spread across Marwar, there was a time when the Rathore clan had expanded all the way from Delhi to Indore becoming the strongest Rajput clan in history but gradually weakened because of wars with the Sur Dynasty and Mughal Empire which lasted for more than 10 years until the Rathores were pushed back.An epoch in the history both of Marwar and of the Rathores was marked by Rao Jodha, a warrior who founded a kingdom that grew to encompass all of Marwar. He also founded the city of Jodhpur in 1459, and moved his capital thither from Mandore.
