Is patial of himachal a rajput?

No, the royal family of Himachal Pradesh, known as the Katoch dynasty, is not of Rajput origin. The Rajputs are a specific community associated with the warrior class in many parts of India, particularly in the north and west. While there have been historical interactions and alliances between the Katoch rulers and Rajput clans in neighboring regions, the Katoch dynasty has its own distinct origins and heritage. The Katochs are believed to have descended from the ancient Indo-Aryan tribes of the region and established their kingdom in the 12th century.
