Radhani (ردھانی) Awan is a sub cast of Awan Family, Awans are the offsprings of Hazrat Ali R. A. They settled in Valley of Soon (وادی سون ).

Afterwards some tribes of Awan family settled near Valley of Namal (وادی نمل) which is near to Mountains of Dhak, MusaKhel Mianwali. There lived a family of Seelo Tribe. When Imran Khan wanted to make Namal college there, the Seelos of Namal gave their land for construction. Namal Dam was constructed by British Indian Govt. in 1913. When Drought came in Namal, the Awans & Seelos shifted to bank of river Indus opposite to the Kundian. Still there is a place with the name "Seelwan Kholay" meaning Dugs of Seelos.

When these Awans and Seelos shifted to the opposite side of Kundian at the bank of River Indus, this place got named Seelwan ( سیلواں ). This place was part of Kundian Kacha. People of Seelwan used to burry their dead bodies in graveyard of Ghandi, which is a union council of Kundian. They came for business and other purposes by passing river Indus with ships. The people of Seelwan used to go Mianwali by passing WataKhel and this place got named as Crossing of Seelos (چنگی سیلواں). People of Seelwan also used to burry their dead bodies near Mountains of Kundal and Graveyard of Seelos is still there.
