Chauhan

Chauhan or Chahamana (also spelled as Chouhan) is predominately a significant Rajput clan that historically ruled large parts of northern and western India, particularly in Rajasthan, Delhi, and Haryana from 7th to 12th centuries. The Chauhan Rajputs claim descent from the Agnivanshi Kshatriya lineage. Some prominent members of this clan include, Rana Hammir Dev Chauhan, Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, Jaharveer Chauhan (Gogaji), Ajayaraja II, Vigraharaja IV, and Viramdev Chauhan.

The Chauhan Rajputs later divided into a number of branches, such as:

Hada Chauhans
Deora (Devda) Chauhans
Bhadauria Chauhans
Songara Chauhans
Nirban Chauhans
Khichi Chauhans
