Raja Bharmal or Bhagmal (r. 1 June 1548 – 27 January 1574) was a Rajput Kachwaha ruler of Amer which was later known as Jaipur in the present day Rajasthan state of India.
Bharmal is more known for marrying his daughter, Jodha bai (also called Harkha Bai or Hira Kunwari) to the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1562, who later become mother to Mughal Emperor Jahangir. He was first among the Rajputs to marry his daughter to a Mughal. He was killed during the battle of Lahore.
Bharmal was born in 1491 at Amer. He was the fourth son of Raja Prithviraj or Prithvi Singh I of Amer (r. 17 January 1503 – 4 November 1527) and Rani Apoorva Devi or Bala Bai of Rathore clan, the daughter of Rao Lunkaranji of Bikaner royal family. Prithviraj was son of Kachwaha ruler Chandrasen and son-in-law of Rana Raimal of Chittor. He fought at the Battle of Khanua on 17 March 1527 in Rana Sanga's favour. Prithviraj had eighteen sons and three daughters by his nine queens. Some of his sons died young while some did not have any issue.
After the death of Raja Prithviraj in 1527, Raja Puran Mal (r. 5 November 1527 – 19 January 1534), his eldest son by Tanwar queen succeeded him. He died at the Battle of Mandrail on 19 January 1534, while helping Mughal Emperor Humayun to recapture the fort of Bayana. He had a son named Sujamal. But Sujamal could not succeed his father as he was a minor at that time.
