Guhila Dynasty

Guhila Dynasty
   The Guhila ruling family of Chitor remained undisturbed by the Ghaurid conquest until the end of the 13th cen-tury. It claimed unbroken descent from a solar race. The founder of the dynasty, Bapa Rawal, is credited with repulsing the Arab inva-sions of Rajputana in the eighth century. His son, Guhila, gave the ruling dynasty its name. The Guhilas were evicted from Chitor by 'Ala al-Din Khalji in 1303, but their authority was restored by Rana Hammir (1326-1364) of the Sisodiya branch of the family. The fa-mous Rana Kumbha (1433-1468) and Rana Sanga (1508-1527) be-longed to the same dynasty.
