History
Khoh was a state in the Dhundhar region of Rajputana,[8] which was ruled by the Chanda clan of Meenas.[9][10] Dulha Rai made Dausa base[11] and attacked here on the day of Diwali and found the Chandas engaged in religious rituals according to their customs,[12] so Dulha easily defeated them and annexed their kingdom.[13][14] Dulha shifted his capital from Dausa to here after his father's death in 1006 AD,[15] but after his death in 1037 AD Meena succeeded in getting it back but his son Kakil Dev wrested it back.[16] Kakil Dev changed this capital of the Kachhwahas to Amber,[17][18] But some sources attribute the change of capital from Khoh to Ambar to Rajdeo who was the third in succession after Pajawan.[19][20][21]

Dulha Rai (1006-1037), in the early part of his reign, had some trouble with the Badgujars, whom he totally routed. Subsequently a prince of Southern India besieged his relative at Gwalior, and at the request of the latter, Dulha Rai marched with an army to render help. He succeeded in beating off the invader, but was wounded in the battle, and on his return, he died at Khoh in 1037.
