The Rathore dynasty chronicles relate that Siyaji or Sheoji, grandson of Chandra, the last Gahadvala Rathore king of Kannauj, came to Marwar on a pilgrimage to Dwarka in Gujarat, and on halting at the town of Pali he and his followers settled there to fight alongside the rajpurohit community from the raids of marauding bands and foreign invaders.

Rajputs and Paliwal brahmins fought bravely against Feroz Shah in 13th century but couldn't resist its large army.

Rao Chunda, tenth in succession from Siyaji Rathore, finally wrested control of Marwar from the Pratiharas.

His brother's son and successor, Rao Jodha, moved the capital to the city of Jodhpur, which he founded in 1459.

Pali remained a part of the Marwar kingdom until 1949, when the last ruling Maharaja acceded to newly independent India.

Geologists trace the existence of Pali to pre-historic age and maintain that it has emerged from the vast western sea spread over a large part of the present day Rajasthan.

All Rajput rulers resisted the foreign invaders but individually fought for each other's land and leadership.
