Rawal Jagmal was the eldest son and successor of Rawal Mallinath, the ruler of Mehwanagar in Barmer. His descendants are known as Mahechas, a sub-clan of Rathore clan of Rajputs.[1]
Rawal Jagmal was the eldest son of Rawal Mallinath, ruler of Mehwanagar in Barmer district. He succeeded his father in 1399.[1]
Jagmal attempted to expand his territory by murdering his uncle Jaitmal to annex Siwana, but these efforts were unsuccessful.[1][2]
He was married to three princesses: Chauhan, Solanki, and Gindoli, the latter described in folklore as a Muslim princess, possibly the daughter of Mahmud Begada, ruler of Gujarat.[3][4][5][6] Jagmal had eleven sons, including Mandlak (or Mandalik), the son of his Chauhan wife, who was the daughter of the Chauhan leader Manja.[8] Following a quarrel, she returned to her father, who granted her a village now known as Ranigaon.
According to tradition, Jagmal later pursued her and, under the pretext of retrieving her and their son, attacked and killed his father-in-law, annexing the area roughly corresponding to present-day Banner tehsil. A local rhyme reflects contemporary perceptions of Jagmal: “Manja, you may as well place your trust in a tiger’s whelp as in the offspring of Jagmal. Put him away from you, or he will one day kill you.” One of Jagmal’s other sons, Rawal Hammir, married the daughter of Ramdev Pir, founder of Pokhran.[9] Jagmal’s descendants are collectively known as the Mahecha Rathores.
The year of his death is unknown. His territories were divided among his sons, with Mandalik, the eldest, succeeding as ruler.[2] Over time, his descendants established up to eighteen petty chiefships in Banner and the surrounding region.
