Bhati

The Bhati Rajputs are a prominent Chandravanshi Rajput clan claiming descent from Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Vishnu. Historically rooted in the Jaisalmer region of Rajasthan ,the Maharajas of Jaisalmer trace their ancestry to Jaitsimha, a Bhati Rajput ruler. The strategic position of Jaisalmer along an ancient trade route made it a key halting point for camel caravans traveling from India to Central Asia, Egypt, Arabia, Persia, and beyond.

Known for their horsemanship, marksmanship, and warrior skills, the Bhati Rajputs' influence extended across Punjab, Sindh, and even to Afghanistan. The city of Ghazni is named after a brave Bhati warrior, and in Lahore, a monument called the Bhati Gate stands as a testament to their legacy.
