Raja Maldeo was a ruler in the thirteenth century India. He was a Chahar Jat, who ruled at Sidhmukh in Jangladesh (Bikaner). The Slave dynasty ruler was then ruled at Delhi. The Delhi ruler's army while returning from Jaisalmer clashed with Raja Maldeo. It happened like this.
Two bulls were fighting. The Delhi army was watching it, but no one dared to stop them. It was then that Raja Maldeo’s daughter, Somadevi came out and caught both the bulls by the horns and quietened them.
The slave dynasty ruler was so impressed that he asked for Somadevi’s hand in marriage. But Raja Maldeo refused the offer. The ruler then tried to take away Somadevi forcefully.
This led to a bloody battle in which Raja Maldeo, Somadevi and many Jats died. The location of the battle is said to be near the border of Sidhmukh. The remaining members of Raja Maldeo's family migrated to the Jhunjhawati region (present-day Jhunjhunu).
