This article is about the clan. For the term in Hindustani classical music, see Jhala.
Jhala is the name of a clan of Rajputs belonging to the Suryavanshi lineage, found mainly in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat in India.[1]
The Jhala claim descent from Harpaldev and Shaktidevi. Harpaldev had nineteen sons, one of whom was Manguji (Limbdi) and his son is Karansinhji (Samla).
A whole region of Gujarat, once ruled by them and named for them, was known as Jhalawar.
