Rama

The Thikana of Rama, situated in the historic region of Mewar, was a prominent estate held by the Jhala clan of Rajputs, who played a significant role in the medieval history of Rajasthan. The Jhalas of Mewar trace their lineage back to the valiant brothers Ajja and Sajja, who migrated from Kathiawar and entered the service of Maharana Sanga, famously sacrificing their lives in the historic Battle of Khanwa in 1527. As a cadet branch of this illustrious clan, the ruling family of Rama served the Mewar Kingdom with unwavering loyalty, defending the realm against Mughal expansion and later navigating the turbulent Maratha and British colonial periods. This estate maintained its noble feudal status and cultural patronage under the state of Udaipur until the post-independence integration of princely states into democratic India, which led to the formal dissolution of the thikana system.
