Born in 1830 Sinugra

Bharmal was the younger and poor son of Rana.

Oral family history states that after the death of Rana, Bharmal looked after his mother. As told to me by my grandfather Manji Lalji Bharmal that during one of visit of Imam Hassanali Shah, she wanted to present "memani" (offering) to the Imam. While waiting for Bharmal, who happened to have been delayed to arrive from his employment on the farm where he was working at, she requested one "Kori""(small amount of Kutch money) from her older son Bhallo who had arrived earlier. . Bhallo refused, instructing her to get it from Bharmal. She thus continued to wait at the entrance of this small gathering for Bharmal to arrive. On Bharmal's arrival, she got her "Kori" from him. It so happened, Imam Hassanali Shah had noticed this incident. At the presentation of her offering, Imam Hassanali Shah asked her about the incident which she humbly explained. He blessed her and her son Bharmal and stated to her that her son Bharmal’s progeny will carry on for many, many, many (three times) generations and they would be very successful and would remain devoted.
