History

edit

Descendants of Solanki Kings of Patan spread over Rajasthan and Gujarat. One branch moved to Sirohi, from which Akshayraj Solanki, who was the grandson of Bhoja Solanki of Lach, entered Bhomat, killed Jeevraj Yadav, and established Panarwa as his principal seat in 1478 AD.[2] Bhil Gametis of this region entered into the service of Akhairaj.[3]

In 16th century, Rawat Harpal Solanki, a descendant of Akshayraj and chief of Panarwa provided help to Maharana Udai Singh when he entered into Bhomat hills and Maharana Udai Singh granted him the title of Rana. From then on, Thakur of Panarwa were called Rana.[4]

Rana Harpal's second son, Nahar Singh, captured Ogna and established Thikana of Oghna.

Rana Duda succeeded Rana Harpal, as Rana of Panarwa, but died shortly and then his son, Rana Punja (Rana Poonja) became the Rana of Panarwa. Rana Punja is known for his role in struggle of Maharana Pratap against Mughals.[5][6]

Punja's descendant Rana Chandrabhan also provided help to Maharana Raj Singh during his war against Aurangzeb.[7]
