Waiha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Waiha, sometimes pronounced Veha, are a Seraiki-speaking Rajput tribe, found in the province of Punjab. They trace their origin to Jaisalmer[1] and according to tribal traditions that in the 4th century of the Hijra (913 CE – 1009 CE) the Raja of that State gave Rurar, the modern Tajgarh, in dower to his daughter Huran, and that the place was named after her.
