Mana (माना) gotra Jats live in Mandsaur district in Madhya Pradesh.
Mana (मान) and Hala (हाल) - Varahamihira mentions Mana and Hala together in his Brihat Samhita the name of a people [1] But these are two different clan names the Mana and the Hala / Hala . The Mana are separately mentioned as a people in Markandeya Purana and so are the Hala and their country in the North. [2] Mana was also supposed to be the name of Agastya’s father; and consequently his family is called Mana. [3] But it is doubtful, to say the least. Rig Veda mentions a Mana and also sons of Mana.
