History
In the 8th generation of the Mirhas there lived a king called Mahit. His descendants were called Mahi, Mahe. In about the first century AD, Darunpur, some where near Sujangarh, was the capital of Mahe Kings.
According to the census of 1911 their number was about 7000. The Mahe dynasty has been mentioned in the Mahabharata.
