In early 14 century Sama dynasty Rajput Jam Abada Jadeja was the ruler of Abadasa area of western Kutch with capital at Vadsar.He was very brave.In 1314 AD Delhi Sultan Alauddin army attacked Sumara king Ghogha at his capital Umarkot in Sindh. 140 Sumari queens & princesses fled to Kutch.140 Sumari queens & princess took refuge under Jam Abada at Vadsar Kutch.Alauddin's army followed beautiful women of Sumara king & came to Vadsar.Alauddin's army chief ordered Jam Abada to surrender 140 Sumari women. Instead of surrendering refugees, Jam Abada fought for 5 weeks & died.Jam Abada fought with Alauddin army for 5 weeks & died in unequal fight thereby acquiring immortal fame in Kutch history.He was really brave.
Kutch Rajput women of Jam Abada family & 140 Sumari women of Sindh royal family became Sati by burning themselves in the fire of pyre at Vadsar.A monument temple is built in memory of brave Jam Abada Jadeja on the river bank at Vadsar Kutch where fair is held on Holi festival every year.Our tribute to brave Jam Abada Jadeja who sacrificed his life performing Kshatriya Dharma-duty in the protection of refugee Sumari women.Kutch's Abada Jadeja's grandson Krishnaraj migrated to Mysore in 1336 AD.His descendants are Wadiyar dynasty Rajputs of Mysore in Karnataka.
