Idar

Idar was a hillfort state at the southern end of the Aravalli range in northern Gujarat. The Rathore prince Rao Sonag founded its ruling line in 1257, and its raos controlled routes between Gujarat and Rajputana.

In 1515–1520 Rana Sanga of Mewar placed Raimal on the throne and pursued the Gujarat sultan's army to Ahmedabad. Mughal forces under Murad Baksh conquered Idar in 1656. Rathore rule returned in 1729 when Anand Singh and Rai Singh seized the fort. The Marathas annexed Idar in 1753, but Rai Singh retook it.
