Andhak (अन्‍धक) or Antall (अन्तल) or Aundh (औन्‍ध) or Anlak (अनलक) is a gotra of Jats found in Haryana, India. Andhak Jats were the rulers of Anjai in the north of Mathura. These people are descendants of asura Andhaka.[1]


In Hindu mythology, Andhaka was the demon son of Shiva, and was created from a drop of his sweat. He was born blind. After birth, Andhaka was given to Hiranyaksha to be raised, as he had no sons. Later, Andhaka became the king of Hiranyaksha's kingdom.


Lord Krishna formed a sangha or federation of Andhaka and Vrishnis people known as Gyati which changed to the Jat.[2] When the terror of Jarasandha increased and he invaded Mathura with a vast army, then Krishna thought it well to depart to Dwaraka carrying all Yaduvanshis. The Andhak people also moved at that time to Dwaraka along with Vrishnis.[3]
