The Chattha Dynasty was a Punjabi Muslim dynasty which ruled over the Chattha State in the Rechna Doab. The stronghold of Chatthas was Rasulnagar located between Panjab and Afghan lands.The principality was founded by Nur Muhammad Chattha and passed down to Pir Muhammad Chattha.
The Chatthas had a particular rivalry with the Sukerchakia Misl that lasted for over 40 years and 3-4 generations of hereditary enmity. This rivalry was immortalized in the Punjabi war ballad known as Chatthian di Vaar.
