Dhamrait

"Dhamrait" (sometimes also written as "Dhamrial" or "Dhamial). It is derived from the name of "Dhameri" which is the old name of Nurpur. Dhamrait is among the largest Saini clans.

Further , the reviver of the Shoorsaini lineage is also described as Dharmapal , a Yadava dynasty king who rule Shoorsaini kingdom around 7-8 CE. The town of Dhameri is given in Tarik-e-Alfi as "Dahmala" where a Rajput fort was located and it which fell to Muslims after a fierce battle. The town of "Dhameri" (now Nurpur) which in turn was most likely named after the Shoorsaini king Dharmapal (Pkt. Dhampal) who was the ancestor of Jeth Pal (per Bhat Mookji).

It is to be noted that Dhamrait is a major and dominant clan of Sainis in Hoshiarpuir and Gurdaspur districts of Punjab. In the hills the same clan is found among Pathania Rajputs as Dhamrial. This clan is linked with the fort of Dhameri. Further, there is a Dhameri near Delhi as well which gives the suggestion that the identical ancestors of Pathanias and Saini Rajputs moved from this region and founded another town with the same name to preserve the memory of original home near Delhi and Mathura.
