Bhimdev II or Raja Bhimdev also known as Raja Bimba was an 11th-century king who had his capital in Mahikawati, the present-day Mahim, in Mumbai, India.

The credit of foundation of Bombay goes to Raja Bhimdeva, who belonged to Solanki alias Chalukya clan. He came from Gujarat region along-with his followers and laid the foundation of city of Mahim then known as Mahikavati. He reigned from 1022 AD to 1064. He was a powerful king, who also conquered Northern Konkan coast from Naiks and established his kingdom as great maritime power.

He may have come from Anahilwada-Patan, Gujarat. While others suggest that he may have come from the dynasty of Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri and also known by name of Raja Bimba and established in his kingdom in 13th Century AD.

When he established his kingdom around Mumbai, the aboriginals living here were Kolis and only two temples existed one of Walkeshwar Temple and another of Mumba Devi Temple Bhimdeva was worshiper of Shiva of Somnath from where he came and as such he built Babulnath temple. The deity in this temple is named after the Babool trees which were the main components of a forest covering the low-lying areas of this island. He is said to have built a palace and a court of justice and temple of Prabhadevi.

Prithvi Raj III, commonly known as Prithviraj Chauhan (1149–1192 CE), was a king of the Hindu Chauhan (Chauhamana) dynasty, who ruled the kingdom of Ajmer and Delhi in northern India during the latter half of the 12th century.

Prithviraj Chauhan belonged to the Rajput Chauhan clan, which according to a legend mentioned in later manuscripts of Prithviraj Raso was part of Agnivanshi Rajputs, derived its origin from a sacrificial fire-pit. Chauhan was the last independent Hindu king to sit upon the throne of Delhi. He succeeded to the throne in 1169 CE at the age of 20, and ruled from the twin capitals of Ajmer and Delhi which he received from his maternal grandfather Arkpal or Anangpal III of the Tomara dynasty in Delhi. He controlled much of present-day Rajasthan and Haryana, and unified the Rajputs against Muslim invasions. His elopement in 1175 with Samyukta (Sanyogita), the daughter of Jai Chandra Rathod, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj, is a popular romantic tale in India, and is one of the subjects of the Prithviraj Raso, an epic poem composed by Chauhan's court poet and friend, Chand Bardai.
