Origin

According to the Bards of the Hala gotra, king Shalvahan, the son of Gaj founded his capital at Sorath in present-day Gujarat, where the descendants of Sri Krishna had ruled for several generations.

In the tenth generation, there came a powerful king named Hala. For twenty-two generations thereafter, this country up to Nasik was ruled by this dynasty and was called "Halar." The empire included Bengal, Karnataka, Gujarat, Sindh and Kashmir. This kingdom lasted from 187 Vikram to 227 Vikram.

The members of this gotra are Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. The Muslim Jats of the Hala gotra are found in Sindh, while Hindu and Sikh Jats belonging to this gotra are found in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab (India).
