Manik Rai
Manik Rai was lord of Ajmer and Sambhar in the year S. 741, or AD 685. Prithviraj Chauhan was the descendant of Manika Rae. Manika Rai, whom we may consider as the of the Chauhans of the north, recovered Ajmer. He had a numerous progeny, who established many petty dynasties throughout Western Rajwara, giving birth to various tribes, which are spread even to the Indus. The Khichi, the Hara, the Mohil, the Nirbana, Bhadauria, the Bhaurechahe Dhanetiya, Hill Chauhans and the Baghrecha, are all descended from him.
