Baghel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baghel or Vaghela is the name of a rajput clan. They are a branch of the Solanki clan, which in turn belongs to the Agnivanshi lineage.

The Baghelkhand region in India, part of the present-day state of Madhya Pradesh, takes its name from that of this clan. The region was ruled in past centuries by dynasties belonging to the clan. Rewa was the premier princely state ruled by the Baghel clan.
