History
Ram Swarup Joon[6] writes about Nuhal: According to ' Matsya Puran" king Ushinara of the Yadu dynasty received the title of Yat by performing l00 Yagnas.
His queen was Noha and their descendants came to be called Nuhwal.
According to another legend they are called Nuhwals because they came from the area of Lake Nuh in Khotan Kashgar.(Afghanistan).
The Nuh kings are noted to have presented gifts to king Yudhistra at his coronation ceremony.
In ancient times the Nuhwal Jats ruled over Khotan.
They have 98 villages in district Mathura.
