Dulha Rai (died 28 November 1036) was the founder of the Kachhwaha dynasty and also the 1st king from this dynasty who ruled the Kingdom of Amber in Dhundar region, with his capital at Khoh in present-day Rajasthan. He started his rule from Dausa which he obtained as a dowry from the Chahamanas of Shakambhari. Making Dausa as his base, he started conquering the region of Dhundhar and soon was recognised as the ruler of this region by the Chahamanas after he successfully suppressed the rebellious Bargujar Rajputs.
