History

Khoh has been the historical capital of Dhundhar, which was ruled by the Chanda clan of Meenas.^[5]^[6] Dulha Rai, the last ruler of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty, attacked it and defeated the Chandas. Dulha shifted his capital here from Dausa,^[7] which was later changed to Amber by Kakil Deo.^[8]^[9] But some sources attribute the change of capital from Khoh to Ambar to Rajdeo who was the third in succession after Pajawan.^[10]^[11]^[12]
