Rao Sonag

Rao Sonag, also called Sonangji, was a Rathore Rajput chief and the founder of Idar State. A younger son of Rao Sheoji, he first held the fief of Sametra from the Chaulukya ruler.

In 1257 he and his brother Rao Asthan seized Idar, overthrowing the Koli chieftain Samalio Sora by a ruse: Rathore warriors hidden in carriages struck him down at a feast. As Idar's first Rao he founded the Idariya Rathore line and died in 1275.
