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).

The Issar/Ishar/Isher clan is a prominent sub-branch of the Bali clan of Mohyal Brahmins, formed in the 12th century after a marriage dispute between the queen of Malot and the children of Rai Tirlok Nath Bali, a notable Mohyal warrior who was one of the seven warriors of Jhelum called to Raja Jayachandra's Rajasuya Yajna in 1191 CE; notable members include actor Puneet Issar.
