Jam Rawal

[2] Jam Rawal, in revenge treacherously killed his father's elder brother Rao Hamirji of Lakhiarviro, and ruled Kutch for more than two decades from 1524 to 1548.

Khengarji I, who was given fiefdom of Morbi in 1538 by Sultan Begda, later waged a war against Jam Rawal to claim back the throne of Kutch, with help of armies provided by Mughals and Beghda.

[3] Jam Rawal escaped out of Kutch, who according to myth advice was given by Ashapura Mata in dream to him and later founded the Nawanagar.

After several battles with a number of local tribes and castes, conquered the Jodiya and Amran parganahs from the Dedas, Dhrol from the Chavadas, Nagnath port from the Jethwas, and Khambhalia from the Vadhels/Vadhers.

His third son Jam Vibhaji Rawalji, succeeded his to the throne of Nawanagar upon his death in 1562.
