Rao Ganga Ji Rathore (reigned 1515–1532) was a sixteenth century ruler of Marwar. He was the grandson of Suja. Rao Ganga assisted Rana Sanga in his campaigns but did not personally lead the armies, he instead sent his sons to assist the Rana against the Sultans of India. This was due to the rivalry between the states of Marwar and Mewar. During the Battle of Khanwa the rao sent 7,000 Rathor Cavaliers under his son Maldeo Rathore. The Rathor contingent along with the Sisodiyas and other Rajputs suffered heavy losses due to the betrayal by the Tomar king Silhadi
