Sodhi is a clan of Khatris[1] originated from the Indian Punjab.
[2][full citation needed][3][4] According to the legend, some of the descendants migrated to Sanaudh where the clan chieftain married the daughter of the king and had a son named Sodhi Rai whose descendants ruled over the Sanaudh region now known as east and west Punjab and Haryana and some parts of Himachal Pradesh in northern India.
At the time of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh awarded revenue-free grants to Sodhis, who were not strictly associated with any particular religion and usually "maintained a considerable number of horsemen".
Towards the end of his reign, the total worth of jaigirs was ₹500,000 a year.
