Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The Rathod (Rathore) dynasty of Marwar, whose capital later became Jodhpur, was founded by Rao Seeha (Rao Siha) around 1226 CE. He established Rathore rule in the Pali region of Marwar and is regarded as the progenitor of the dynasty. A later descendant, Rao Jodha, founded the city of Jodhpur in 1459 and shifted the capital there, but the dynasty itself was founded by Rao Seeha. Rana Sanga belonged to the Sisodia dynasty of Mewar, and Rao Beeka founded Bikaner.
