OLD MAN'S NAME WAS 'HADAL'. STILL WE REMEMBER HIM AS 'BABA HADAL'. HE WAS THE FOUNDER OF PHARALA. THERE IS NO GURDWARA ON HIS NAME. BECAUSE HE LIVED BEFORE THE GURDWARA SYSTEM. WHEN SEVENTH GURU CAME TO PHARALA THE VILLAGE HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED PROPERLY. THERE IS A SEAT OF BABA HADAL OR GADDHI OF BABA HADAL NEAR GABHLA KHUH YOU CAN A RED THARRA. HE USED TO SIT THERE AND LISTNEN VILLAGERS PROBLEMS. THAT IS A HOLY PLACE FOR PHARALAVI. PEOPLE STILL LIT DEEVA THERE AND BOW THERE HEAD. BABA HADAL LIVED MORE THAN HUNDRED YEARS. HE BROUGHT THE OTHER CASTS TO PHARALA. FOR EXAMPLE JHEER CAST CAME FROM NEARBY VILLAGE MUNNA AND PUNDIT CAME FROM A VILLAGE NEARBY JALANDHAR AND SO ON. MOST OF THE JATT PEOPLE CAME FROM RAJASTHAN. ACCORDING TO MOST POPULAR THEORY A TRIBE WAS DOING SOME BUSINESS OF TAKING THE GOODS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THE TRIBE WAS USING CAMELS AS TRANSPORT. WHEN LOOTERS OR DACCU OR EVEN ARMY DISTURBED THEM THEY STARTED TO FIND THE PLACES TO SETTLE DOWN. THE TRIBE WAS KNOWN AS 'UT WALE' MEANS CAMEL OWNERS.ATWAL IS CORRUPTED WORD OF UTWAL. SOME PEOPLE WRITE THEMSELVES ATHWAL BECAUSE THEY CALL CAMEL 'UTH'  OR 'OOTH' AND IN OUR AREA WE CALL CAMEL 'UT' OR 'OOT'. ATWAL OR ATHWAL IS SAME THING JUST DIFFERENCE OF PRONUNCIATION.

MY DAD KAMAL DEV is from this village.WE STILL HAS A HOUSE IN PHARALA THAT IS TAKEN CARE BY MY UNCLE SUBHASH. WHENEVER I GO TO INDIA I ALWAYS VISIT THIS VILLAGE.
