Lahoti

Lahoti is a surname of Indian origin. They belong to a sub-sect called Maheshwaris who in turn are a sub-sect of Marwaris.

Historically, Lahoti surname was adopted along with 71 other surcastes of Maheshwari caste about 5000 years ago, at the time of origin of the Maheshwari caste, by 72 umaraos of court of King of Khandela (a town in Rajasthan). The 72 umaraos were cursed by saints and after many years, god Shiva and Parvati blessed them, and they became vaishya (businessmen). Thus the origin of Lahoti along with all other Maheshwari sub-castes, is Rajasthan.
