Bhamashah

Bhama Shah (1547–1600)[1] was a noted general, minister and close aide of Maharana Pratap Singh.

The financial support provided by him allowed Maharana Pratap to restore his army and reclaim much of his lost territory.

Bhamashah and his brother Tarachand[7] gave 2,000,000 gold coins and 25,000,000 silver rupees[7] to Maharana Pratap.

At the time of his death he was Mewar's treasurer under Amar Singh I. Descendants of Bhamashah also served as prime ministers of the Ranas of Udaipur for a few generations.
