The given citation doesn't mention anything of king Rawal Jaisal being rajput at all, it just says "Rajput styled furniture and European style" which doesn't connect anything with Rawal jaisal being rajput. So I have removed it as it doesn't hold any proofs. Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit |

Rawal Jaisal (r. c. 1153–1168), was a Bhati[1][2] ruler of Jaisalmer who lived during the 12th century and founded the city of Jaisalmer and Jaisalmer state. Sixth in descent from Rawal Deoraj Bhati, he was the eldest son of Rawal Dusaj of Deoraj (Deorawul), which had its capital at Laudrava.[3] When his father appointed Jaisal's younger half-brother Vijayraj Lanjha as his successor, Vijayraj, upon ascending the throne, drove Jaisal out of the kingdom. He was married to daughter of Haibat Khan and named her as 'Somaldevi'.[4]His descendants were maharajas of Nabha State, Jind State and Faridkot State.Their were Sikhs , because one of their descendants was converted to Sikhism.
Founding of Jaisalmer
While surveying Trikuta hill, a massive triangular rock rising more than 75 metres out of the surrounding sands, as a more secure location for a new capital, Rawal Jaisal met a sage called Eesul, who was staying on the rock. Upon learning that Jaisal was of Yaduvanshi descent, Eesul told him that according to ancient mythology Krishna and Bhima had come to this location for a ceremony, where Krishna had prophesied that a descendant of his Yaduvanshi clan would one day establish a kingdom here. Eesul showed him a spring which Krishna had created and his prophecy carved into a rock.[5] This rock still remains in a well in the Jaisalmer fort. Encouraged by this meeting Jaisal moved his capital to this location and established it in 1156[5] in the form of a mud fort and named it Jaisalmer after himself.
