History

Шаблон:See Dulha Rai captured Dhundhar after defeating Alan Singh Chanda, the ruler of the Chanda dynasty.[2]

Dulha Rai, probably the last ruler of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty of Gwalior, had taken possession of it, who had moved to Dausa and made Khoh his capital after Dausa.[3][4]

Raja Dulherai expanded the state by mixing Manchi in Dhundhar. After Dulherai, his son Kokil Deo defeated the Susawats of Amer and made Amer the capital of Dhundhar after Khoh.[5][6]

Culture

Generally liberal policies of the rulers permitted Jainism to flourish at Amber and later at Jaipur.

It continues to be one of the most important centers of Jainism in India. It is here where the Bispanthi/Digambar Terapanthi divisions among the Jains emerged in the 17th century.[7] In the 17th century the Chittor seat of the Bhattarakas of Mula Sangh Saraswati gachchha moved from Champawati to Sanganer and then to Amber and finally to Jaipur where the last Bhattarka was present until 1965. The lineage is:

  • Narendrakirti (Samvat 1691, Sanganer) –
  • Surendrakirti (Samvat 1722, Amber) –
  • Jagatkirti –
  • Devendrakirti –
