Gadarmala
Gadarmala, also known as Bhopalgarh, is a small area in Bhilwara district, Rajasthan, about 20 km from Bhilwara town. It has around 5,000 residents. The village is named after King Bhopal Singh, who was an adopted son of King Kesar Singh. A monument to the king exists, bought by a local villager and is not open to tourists.
Gadarmala is a thikana, a titled estate, held by the descendants of Puranmal, the eleventh son of Maharana Pratap Singh I, who carried the title Baba. Their ancestral seat was Mangrop. Generations later, Puranmal’s grandson Mohkam Singh was given the village of Gurla as jagir by his father Nath Singh of Mangrop. Mohkam Singh then allocated the jagir of Gadarmala to his son Amar Singh, linking Gadarmala to Gurla.
Gadarmala has a gram panchayat that includes nearby villages such as Chawanderi, Dholikhera, and Nogawa.
