The Bhati is a surname as well as the name of a historically prominent Rajput clan of Yaduvanshi (Chandravanshi) lineage, associated with a ruling dynasty centered in Jaisalmer in present-day Rajasthan.[1][2]
Historical scholarship describes the Bhatis as part of the Yaduvanshi Rajput tradition, tracing descent from the Yadu lineage associated with Krishna and forming one of the notable ruling lineages of the Thar desert region.[3]
Scholarly works on Rajput history group the Bhati clan with other Yaduvanshi Rajput lineages such as the Jadeja and Chudasama clans.[4]
Bhati (also romanised as Bhattī) is a Rajput clan.[5] The Bhati clan historically ruled over several cities in present-day India and Pakistan with their final capital and kingdom being Jaisalmer, India.[6][7]
