[Bandechha]:- Bandechha, Bandesha are the same clan. Bandechha is a prominent Jatt clan of Punjab. They claim Suryavanshi descent. Bandechha is a Jatt caste from the Northern Indian state of Punjab. Most of the members of this clan are Sikhs by religion. Parminder Singh's opinion is that this clan originated from the Village Fatehgarh Churia of Amrtisar district. .
Now Bandechha(s) are found mostly in the Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Patiala, Ludhiana of Punjab State. Fatthu Dhinga, Sarai Banjara, Shah Kot, Badesha are among prominent villages (pinds) in Punjab of Bandechhas.
Some of Bandechha(s) went further from Punjab to Haryana and Delhi. Some of the Bandechhas migrated to Canada, England, Germany, United States. Presently, the Bandechha are spread all over the World.
The noted historian, K.C. Yadav says that most of the Jat tribes came to the Punjab in eleventh century during the days of Mahmud of Ghazni. Bandechha too are believed to have migrated to the province at this time.
