Shekhawat

The Shekhawats are a sub-clan of the Kachhwahas, descending from Rao Shekha, a great-grandson of Udaikaran of Amber. They rose to power in Shekhawati, a region named after Rao Shekha, which was earlier dominated by groups like the Nirban Chauhans, Sankhlas, Gaurs, and Kyam-Khanis.

Rao Shekha's campaigns expanded his control to areas like Dadri, Hansi, and Bhiwan.
