Hâra.—A famous Râjput sept which is now represented only in small
numbers in these Provinces. They trace their descent to the mythical
cow Kamdhenu, from whose bones (hâr) they say that they were produced.
The founder of the sept was Ishta Pâla, a descendant of Mânik Râê, King
of Ajmer, who in A.D. 685 “sustained the first shock of the Islâmite
arms.” Ishta Pâla was wounded in battle with the invading force of
Mahmûd of Ghazni. “His limbs which lay dissevered, as the story goes,
were collected by Sûra Bâi; and the goddess sprinkling them with the
water of life, he arose. Hence the name Hâra, which his descendants
bore from the bones (hâr) thus collected; but more probably from having
lost (hâra) Asi.” There are nineteen eponymous clans, of which Colonel
Tod gives a list. [502]
Hardoi.—A sub-caste of Banyas who take their name from the district of
that name.
