Khyat is a form of bardic historical prose that was prevalent in the western Indian states of Rajasthan and Gujarat.[1][2] It is a collection of events or continuous history.[3] Khyats generally contained histories of a ruling dynasty or a person. In the former states that now constitute Rajasthan, Khyats were written by the Charans under the patronage of rulers who wished to perpetuate their exploits.[1] These accounts contained histories of battles, sacrifices, valour, and chivalry, values that came to be associated with Rajputs.[4] Khyats are often known by the name of their authors; e.g., Bankidas-ri-Khyat (Khyat by Kaviraja Bankidas).[1] Nainsi-ri-Khyat written by Nainsi is considered to be the most prominent of khyats.[5]
Khyat and vat/bat were recited in Charan-Rajput gatherings and were meant to convey the magnificence of both the Rajputs and the composers that were the Charans. Khyats were primarily oral accounts that were textualised by the seventeenth century.[4]
