According to Colonel Dalton and H.H. Risley, the Dhal zamindar family of Dhalbhum was the members of the primitive Bhumij race, who was selected by the other Bhumij chiefs as their feudal ruler.[3] The zamindars later became Hinduised, and adopted the title 'Dhal' or 'Dhabal Deo'.[4] The family is related to the families of Bishnupur, Raipur, Shyamsundarpur and others.[1] They ruled for about 700 years. A branch of the same family ruled in Chikligarh or Jamboni.[2]
Rankini Devi is established as the family goddess of the Dhalbhum rulers. It is said that human sacrifice was offered to the goddess every year,[2]
