 ==Biography==
 Bhamashah was born on 28 June 1547 in oswal baniya family. His father Bharmal Kawedia was Qiledar of [[Ranthambore Fort]] appointed by [[Rana Sanga]] and was later prime minister under [[Rana Udai Singh II]].
-Bhama Shah was a great general, adviser, minister of [[Mewar]], who was later promoted to post of Prime Minister of Mewar by Rana Pratap, to whom he served as close aide and confidante.<ref name=mp/> He along with his younger brother Tarachand fought in several battles for Mewar. Tarachand who was four years younger to Bhamashah was also an able administrator, valiant fighter and commanded the forces of Mewar on several occasions like his elder brother Bhamashah.<ref name=mp/>

-Bhamashah was the nagar seth of Chittor. After their defeat in the costly [[Battle of Haldighati]], Rana Pratap had no funds at all to carry on the fight, and his family was close to starvation. At this point, Bhamashah and his brother Tarachand,<ref name="mp" /> presented their wealth consisting of 2,00,00,000 gold coins and 25,00,00,000 silver rupees<ref name="mp" /> to maharana Pratap, who was overwhelmed. They, being skilled in [[gurilla warfare]], attacked Mughal army camps and won a lot of wealth from Mughals; from which they partially financed Rana. With this help, Pratap could organize an army and carried on his further conflicts against the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]].
