Dhanana Village
History & Roots
A village born from the land, shaped by its people
Dhanana takes its name from its founder, Dhanna Jaat, who first settled this land. Over generations, the Ghanghas Jat clan became the dominant family of the village. As the population grew and farmers began working distant fields, satellite settlements — Jatai, Sukhpura, and Kuchpad — were established nearby.
Dhanana is administered as three sub-villages: Dhanana I, Dhanana II, and Dhanana III — each a part of the same roots.
