The Dabhi are a clan of the Kolis. Dabhi Kolis ruled over Ghorasar estate.

The Dabhi are found mainly in Gujarat. They claim descent from the mythological Suryavansh (Solar) dynasty via Kusha, who was one of the twin sons of Rama and Sita (however this myth of origin was only created in the twentieth century. Previously, they had worshipped Shiva and Shakta.

Kolis as well utilize tall claims in order to claim Kshatriya status, despite their historical origin as lawless marauding robbers and dacoits.
