Khed

Khed lies near the Luni River in the desert country of Marwar. It was an early centre of Rathore power before the family established its later capital at Mandore and Jodhpur. The town is also known for the temple of Ranchhor Rai, a form of Krishna. Its history belongs to the period in which Rathore chiefs built a territorial base through alliances and conflicts with neighbouring groups in western Rajasthan.
