Our family story

The Sen house of Mandi is documented in a large government pedigree with many collateral branches. This starter follows the principal recorded line from Ajbar through Chatar, Sahib, Narayan and later rulers, and preserves the distinction between the Ishri, Zalim and Ude branches. The official district history provides context for Mandi’s separation from Suket and the development of its capital.

Source and relationship notes

Selected historical branches transcribed from the 1940 government pedigree appendix. Parent links mean recorded in this source, not independently proven biological descent. Spelling variants are retained in notes. Gaps are left open; succession alone is not parentage. Recent descendants, current locations, contact details and schooling require further sources and consent. Legendary remote origins are not entered as established ancestry.
Selected central branches only. Some death years differ between period charts and later accounts; dates here are explicitly the chart’s readings. No missing medieval generations are invented to connect the traditional origin account to Ajbar Sen.
