Mohyal Brahmins are an Indian sub-caste of Saraswat Brahmins from the Punjab region, who are sometimes referred to as 'Warrior Brahmins'. Mohyal Brahmins were the ancient and one of the first Hindu rulers of Punjab and Afghanistan. Their texts claim that their center of origin was from the Ghandhara region of Ancient India (now a region divided between northeastern-Afghanistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa). Mohyal Brahmins were not priests in traditional sense as they abandoned their priestly duties. They were warriors, spiritual healers and preachers of different sects of Hinduism.
