Bhattiana, also spelt Bhatiyana, is a tract of land lying in the Indian states of Haryana and Punjab between Hisar and the Garra. It was named Bhattiana because of being ruled by the Bhatti. The regions fell under the control of the different rulers, including the Mughals, and with the weakening of the Mughals, became a part of the British Raj from the early-to-mid-19th century.
