The Chohan had their capital at Shakumbari (present-day Sambhar Lake Town). Until the 10th century, they ruled as Gurjar Pratihar vassals. When the Gurjar Pratihara power declined after the Tripartite Struggle, the Chahamana ruler Simharaja assumed the title Maharajadhiraja. In the early 12th century, Ajayaraja II moved the kingdom's capital to Ajmer). For this reason, they are also known as the Chohans of Ajmer.
