History of Rana Mokal:

Maharana Lakha was the 45th Maharana of Mewar. Maharana lakha died in a war leaving young Mokal as his successor. Being the younger, his elder brother Choonda began to look after the state of affairs as promised to Maharana Lakha. But the mother of Mokal, Hansa Bai didn’t like the influence that Choonda had over the nobles of the Mewar. Hansa bai, doubted the intensions of Choonda and questioned his integrity. Her resentment made the Choonda leave Chittor and retire to Mandu, the capital of Malwa. Rani Hansa Bai attained the help from her brother Ranmal of Marwar to administer the state of affairs on the behalf of Mokal’s unit as he was a minor.


Maharana Mokal had the brief stint as ruler of Mewar but it rose to the fame as the most celebrated warrior of his race. Maharana Mokal defeated Gujarat, Nagour and repelled an invasion by the Delhi sultan. But most importantly, he completed all the palaces that were commencd by his father Maharana Lakha and he conspired to build more aesthetic structures. But his sad demise was at a young age of 24 that put a stop to this emerging illustration of Mewar. Maharana  Mokal assassination by his paternal uncles, Chacha and Mera brought an end to a great Maharana in making.
Maharana Kumbha who was of only 13 years old at that time of Maharana Mokal’s death, ascended the throne at crucial juncture in the history of Mewar.

The young Rana Kumbha may have had the most unfavourable situation after his father’s death but valour and vision of his father, Maharana Mokal inspired him to emerge as the one of the greatest rulers of Mewar ever knew.
