The Barha family (also Bahera or Bara) was an Ashrafized Shia noble family in India during the Mughal Empire. Its members traditionally held high military ranks and frequently led armies in the service of Mughal emperors, from the reign of Emperor Akbar into the early 18th century.
Under the Sayyid brothers, Hussain Ali Khan and Hassan Ali Khan, the Barhas became the de facto ruling family of the Mughal court from 1713 to 1720.
