'''Rao Ganga Ji Rathore''' (reigned 1515–1532) was a sixteenth century ruler of [[Marwar]]. He was the grandson of [[Suja Rathore of Marwar|Suja]]. Rao Ganga was married to Utmade Sisodia, a daughter of Rana Sanga. Rao Ganga constructed the Gangelao talab in 1518 AD.<ref>Frontiers Of Earth Science p. 543</ref>

Rao Ganga spent most of his reign in battles with his own clansmen and nobles. During his rule the Rathore nobles of Sojat and Merta became independent and Bikaner threatened the northern borders with claims on Marwar. The neighbouring Afghan Sultans of Nagaur and Jhalore were also regularly pillaging Marwar lands because of Marwars weak status. Ganga ended the hostilities between Mewar and Marwar by marrying Rana Sanga's daughter. He also defeated the joint forces of Bikaner and Nagaur and repelled an invasion from Jalore. However he failed to win his lost territories and was unable to quell the rebellions of his nobles. He did however assist Rana Sanga in several of his campaigns.<ref>House of Marwar pg.53-55</ref>

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 3,000 [[Rathor]] Cavaliers under his son [[Maldeo Rathore]].<ref>House of Marwar pg.55</ref> The [[Rathor]] contingent along with the [[Sisodiya]]s and other [[Rajput]]s suffered heavy losses due to the betrayal by the [[Tomar]] king [[Silhadi]]<ref>{{cite web|first=Mahendra Pratap|last=Singh|url=http://therathore.com/udeka/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=45|title=Marwar: Land of Death|website=The Rathore|accessdate=6 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211082942/http://therathore.com/udeka/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=45|archive-date=11 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Death==
Rao Ganga fell from his balcony and died shortly after. His death remains a mystery as some say that he was pushed down by his son Maldev, while others believe that he slipped on his own because he was intoxicated with Opium.
