Bhadoriya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bhadoriya भदौरिया (also variously spelled Bhaduria, Bhadoria, Bhadouria) is the name of a branch of the Chauhan clan of Agnivanshi Rajputs in India. The chief of this clan was ruler of Bhadawar State before 1947.

The Agnivanshi are people belonging to the Agnivansha. According to legend, they are descended from Agni, the Hindu god of fire.

The Agnivanshi lineage is one of the three lineages into which the Kshatriya caste of Hindus is divided, the other two races being the Suryavanshi and the Chandravanshi.

This class of Rajputs is a community of Hindus belonging to the Kshatriya or warrior caste.
