[edit] History
The main village in Karauli dist. is Mandrayal this village is most famous because it joins the two states M.P. and Rajasthan.This village is famous in manner of history. Puranmal the Raja of Amber fought in the battle called the battle of Mandrayal in favour of Mughals.This was in the year 1534 AD. Next year Bahadur Shah of Gujrat besieged the fort of Chittoor, upon which Humayun himself started to fight against him. Rani Karmawati the widow of Rana Sanga was ruling Chittor as regent. She also tried to be friendly with Mughals and sent a Rakhi to Humayun, but Humayun did not arrive in time. If he would have arrived in time and helped Karmawati, perhaps it would have been Sisodias as their close allies. However it were Kachwahas who became the first allies of Mughals in Rajputana. Bharmal's policy towards Mughals was merely extension of his brothers policy.
Bharmal's eldest brother Raja Puranmal died at the Battle of Mandrayal in 1534, while helping Humayun to recapture the fort of Bayana. He had a son named Surajmal or Sooja. But he was not recognised as king and his younger brother Raja Bhim Singh asceneded to the throne of Amber. Bhim Singh was succeeded by his son Raja Ratan Singh and Raja Bharmal succeeded him in 1548, CE.
