Raksel

Raksel is a Rajput clan that claims descent from the Yaduvanshi lineage of the Chandravanshi dynasty. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Rajput Raja Man Singh was ruling Palamu prior to the rule of the Chero dynasty. ^{[4] [5]}

A Chero chief of Shahabad, Bhagwant Rai, took service under the Raksel Rajput chief Man Singh of Palamu. Bhagwant Rai assassinated Man Singh, taking advantage of the local Raja's absence at a ceremony at Surguja to raise the standard of revolt and founded his own kingdom around 1572. ^{[6] [ better source needed ]}
