Talwandi Rai is a village in Ludhiana district in the IndiaofPunjab. It is 37 km from Ludhiana city, near Raikot.
Talwandi Rai was reputedly founded in 1478 AD by the Rai Kalha I who was a Muslim Rajput. The village was autonomous during most of the British rule in India and was ruled by a Rajput King up until the late 1800s when the British Raj demanded the Rai adhere to British demands.
