Pandit Thambu Ram established a village now called village thurana while Pandit Bhagu established village now called Bhagana. After that, in order to expand the village and help the outsiders, pieces of lands were given to other cast’s people who came to live in village Bhagana by Pandit Bhagu Ram and his heirs.

Adram was born in the family of Pt. Bhagu Ram. The kursinama of Pt. Adram is shown in hierarchy table.
