        The Tehri Riyasat handwritten note states that there was rule of Jumla Chieftains on Painkhanda the far north of Garhwal.

  UP Historical Society (July1943) stated that forty two Jumla chieftains were the rulers of Painkhanda regions. That means one Jumla chieftain was ruling a village of Painkhanda region. Jumla Chieftains had a federal system for ruling Painkhanda region. The ruling period of Jumla Chieftains is suggested by handwritten note -1270-1321. There is no historical record to prove this folk saying that Jumla were ruling Painkhanda.
