| The Mondals, the [[zamindar]]s of Bowali, originally carried the title of Roy/ Rai. Shovaram was awarded the title of Mondal. Shovaram’s grandson, Rajaram, received the zamindari rights of 50 villages (including [[Budge Budge]] and Bowali), as a reward for his bravery, from the Raja of Hijli. They settled at Bowali around 1710. Rajaram’s grandson Haradhan, who enjoyed the patronage of the [[East India Company]], and his sons built many temples in Bowali.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.rangan-datta.info/bowali.html | title = Next weekend you can be at Bawali | first= Rangan| last= Datta | publisher = Published in The Telegraph | access-date = 10 November 2019}}</ref> The regional social media page '''Bawali Itibritto'''<ref>{{Cite web|title=bawaliitibritto.com – Just another WordPress site|url=https://bawaliitibritto.com/|access-date=2021-05-08|language=en-US}}</ref> is conducting research to know more about Bowali.
