Rajawat

Rajawat or Rajavat (in Sanskrit meaning royal linage) is the name of the senior sub-clan of the Kachwaha, Suryavanshi rajputs. Traditionally, the Rajawats are distinguished for their right of presumptive heirship to the Jaipur Gaddi (throne), thus the Maharaja of Jaipur belongs to this sub-clan.

The Thikanas of this clan and their domain near Jaipur were known as the 'Rajawati' domain, possessing a 38-room Haveli.
