Pathani
The Paatni (Kumaoni: पाटनी) are an ethnic Kumaoni Rajput group of the Attigoan and Kamsyar region of Gangolihat tehsil Pithoragarh district of the Kumaon Himalayas of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Paatni people are members of a Chandravanshi Kshatriya clan that migrated from the town of Patan in Rajasthan to their current location in Uttarakhand in the early 16th century. Atkinson described them as the groups holding small principalities in Kumaon at the end of Katyuri rule and the advent of the Chand dynasty in Kumaon. After a brief stint with the Chands, they were awarded a grant of the Patti of Attigaon and Kamsyar i.e. the area from Ganaigangoli to Banspatan.
