Mankari (Mānkari or Maankari) is a hereditary title used by Marathanobles[1][2] and troops[3] from the Indian subcontinent who held land grants, and cash allowances.[4] They held an official position at the Darbar (court) and were entitled to certain ceremonial honours and presents rendered at courts, councils, weddings, festivals, village assemblies, etc. They were worthy of distinction and the honour bestowed upon them was the result of the military, bureaucratic or fiscal importance of them or their distinguished ancestors.[5][6]
