The Ghorbati (also known as Mugat or Hadurgar) are an ethnic group and originally a nomadic community in Iran Afghanistan, and Central Asia, where they are part of the various communities termed Lyuli. They are mostly situated in Iran, where others have migrated from. They trace their ancestry to Sassanid Persia.
