Stone Memorials at Muli commemorate the event when two communities fought over a partridge leading to the death of an estimated 200 persons. The incident goes back to 1474,[3] when members of the Chabad community, who were tribal hunters shot a partridge, which was wounded and saved by a lady named Jombai who was the mother of Lakhdhirji, the then ruler of the Muli State. She found the injured bird lying behind the presiding deity of their community, and hence refused to hand over the bird. The ensuring battle led to many deaths and stone memorials are still found in Muli. The caste identity of each of those killed in inscribed in the memorials. Since then, Parmar Rajputs of Muli vowed never to kill a partridge. ## Rulers The rulers of Muli used the title Thakore Saheb. - Laghdhirsinhji I – 1st HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ramasinhji (Ramaji) I – 2nd HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Bhojrajsinhji (Bhojaji) I – 3rd HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Samantsinhji – 4th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Laghdhirsinhji ll - 5th HH Thakore Saheb of muli - Bhojrajsinhji II (Bhojaji) – 6th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Chachoji (Sesaji) – 7th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ratansinhji II – 8th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Karansinhji – 9th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Jagdevsinhji – 10th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ramasinhji III – 11th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Raisinhji – 12th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ratansinhji III – 13th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Kalyansinhji I – 14th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Munjaji III – 15th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ratansinhji IV – 16th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Kalyansinhji II – 17th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Ramasinhji – 18th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Vakhatsinhji – 19th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Sartansinhji Rambhai – 20th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Himmatsinhji Sartansinhji – 21st HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Harischandrasinhji Dharmendrasinhji – 22nd HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Dharmendrasinhji Harischandrasinhji – 23rd HH Thakore Saheb of Muli - Jitendrasinhji Dharmendrasinhji – 24th HH Thakore Saheb of Muli.
