Jhala is a Rajput clan [2] [3] primarily found in the Indian states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. [4]

History

The Jhalawar state ruled by Jhala Rajputs in Rajasthan was a 17-gun salute state, [5] the princely state of Dhrangadhra was a 13-gun salute state in the 1920s, when it was ruled by members of the Jhala dynasty. At that time, Jhalas also governed in the 11-gun salute state of Wankaner and in the 9-gun salute states of Limbdi and Wadhwan, as well as in the non-salute states of Lakhtar, Sayla and Chuda. [6] Citing Mandavik Charita, Ratanalāla Miśra states that the Jhala Rajputs are termed as Chandravanshi. [7]
