The ruling family of kuchesar belongs to the Dalal clan of Jats –founded by the descendants of Dalle –a prominent Jat personality of ‘Mandoti’ in Haryana. In the lineage of Dalle (i.e.in the Dalal clan) was born a certain. Bhual .He and his three brothers came and settled in the area of Kuchesar more than 300 years ago

Bhual’s great grandsons Magni Ram and Ramdhan Singh were granted the Jagir of Kuchesar and the title of ‘Rao Bahadur’ by the Mughal ruler Najib-ud-Daulah. In 1794 the lease was made perpetual by Shah Alam- Mogul emperor of Delhi and confirmed again in 1803 by the British government. As a result of his unparalleled influence & might in the area, a descendant of the clan – Rao Gulab Singh was granted the title of ‘Raja Bahadur’ and revenue rights for the jagir.

Rao Bahadur Rao Girraj Singh, the grand father of the present owner Kunwar Ajit Singh in perpetuity was the last member of the family to have held the title and revenue rights. ‘Rao Raj Vilas’ draws its name from the titles conferred on the family to celebrate our heritage .

Copies of the official documents conferring the above titles and rights are on display in the photo galleries at the fort.
