Yaduvanshi Rajputs

Yaduvanshi Rajputs is a term used for describing various Rajput groups claiming descent from ancient Yadus. The Khanzadas of Tijara also claim descent from the Yaduvanshi Rajputs.[1] Mysore has been ruled by a Hindu dynasty that claimed to be descended from an offshoot of the Yadava dynasty line.[2][3] Madhuriputra, Ishwarsena and Shivdatta were well known Ahir kings who mingled with Yadav Rajputs.[4]

Tha Bhati Rajput royal house of Jaisalmer is also known as Chhatra Yadavpati (sons of Yadavs), reflecting their descent from Krishna, the first Yaduvanshi or member of Yadav clan.[6] The bardic accounts unanimously ascribe origin of Chudasama Rajputs to Chandrachud Yadav of Samma tribe.[7] The Chudasama of Junagarh are considered to be Ahirs and the descendants of Abhira tribe too.[8]
