Bali clan

The Bali are a clan of the Mohyal Brahmin community, who originated from North India, particularly the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi (after the partition).

Early history[edit]

The Mohyals' were once priests that resided near the ancient river of Saraswati, that used to flow from the Himalayas and down to the Arabian Sea.^[1] However during the Vedic Period, Bhagwan Parashurama, a famous warrior sage militarised these priests into fierce warriors that would go on to unify the areas of India and defend it from many invasions.^[2]
