Rajput clans

The Rajput or Thakur community is divided into a large number of clans based on their descent from various ancient Vedic Kshatriya dynasties such as Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi, Agnivanshi and the sub-branches Yaduvanshi and Raghuvanshi.

Agnivanshi clans

The Agnikulas (the clans of the fire dynasty), descended from Agnipala, Swatcha, Mallan, Gulunsur, Ajpala and Dola Rai.

Suryavanshi clans

Also known as Raghuvanshis (the clans of the Solar dynasty), descended through Manu, Ikshvaku, Harischandra, Raghu, Dasaratha and Lord Rama.

Chandravanshi clans

Also known as Somavanshis (the clans of the lunar dynasty), descended through Yayati, Deva Nausha, Puru, Yadu, Kuru, Pandu, Yudhisthira and Krishna. This dynasty was further divided into two sub-branches: The Yaduvanshi lineage (Lord Krishna was born a Yaduvanshi) and the Puruvanshi lineage. (The Kauravs and Pandavs of the epic Mahabharata were Puruvanshis)
