After Jai Singh had removed Budh Singh from the throne of Bundi in 1730, he nominated Dalel as Budh’s successor on that throne.[4] He then called Dalel’s father, Salim Singh, to come and take Bundi in his possession, and told him that the rajyaabhishek of Dalel would be performed in due course of time.[4] Jai then, using influence on the Mughal Emperor, sought a firman from him that recognised Dalel as the new ruler of Bundi.[4] When the Emperor granted it, he had Salim Singh install Dalel on the throne.[4] He continued to reign until 1749, when Umaid Singh captured Bundi, removed him from the throne and installed himself.[5][6] During the time Dalel reigned over Bundi, his state was nothing more than a fiefdom under Jaipur, and he had to regularly attend the Dussehra durbar of the Maharaja of Jaipur.[5]
