Muli State
The Muli Princely State had an area of 133 square miles (340 km2) and contained twenty four villages including Muli city. The Parmar rajputs came to this area from Tharparkar District, Sindh, Pakistan. Lakhdhirji Parmar named this Princely State after a milkmaid who used to deliver milk to them. Parmar believes in god "Mandavrayji (Sun god)" thus they have built the big temple of Mandavrayji at the heart of city.
The town is famous for the battle fought between the Chabhad and the Parmars for a wounded partridge. Chabhads were wanted possession of the partridge while Parmars were wanted to provide shelter to wounded partridge, then it was a big battle between Parmars and Chabhads, this war having historical importance because 140 Parmars got victory against 500 chabhads.
From that day on, Muli's Parmars vowed never to kill a partridge and accorded it a divine standing. Even during times when partridge hunting was rampant and was a favourite pastime among the royals, killing it was banned in Muli.
muli prince lakhdhirji given the shelter to some outer cast and saved their daughter from the sumra king of Sindh province who wanted possession of her.
Muli is also known for bounteous king Sachoji Parmar who had given lion alive to charan by the favor of God mandavraiji. This incident is also penned by well-known writer Jhaverchand Meghani in 'Saurashtra ni rasdhar'.
There are 24 villages of parmar rajputs which also termed as 'Muli chovisi'.
