[edit] Origin

These are very old gotras. In the eighth generation of the Mirhas, there lived a king called Mahit. His descendants were called Mahi or Mahe. They founded the Mahe dynasty. In about the first century AD, Darunpur, somewhere near Sujangarh, was the capital of the Mahe kings.

[edit] The Mahe dynasty in various texts

The Mahe dynasty has been mentioned in the Mahabharata. In the Prithviraj Raso and in the Alha Udal stories, there are references to the Mahal kings.

[edit] Geographic distribution

According to the census of 1911, their number was about seven thousand. The Mahiwal Jats are found in large numbers in Punjab, but they are also spread all over Northern India. The Mehria gotra is found in Rajasthan.
