[edit] Origins
Jadeja clan is a branch of the Lunar or Chandravanshi line of Rajputs, who trace their origin to Lord Krishna, and are amongst the original 36 Royal Dynasties of old. The Jadejas ruled vast areas and had many kingdoms, notably Kutch, Nawanagar, Rajkot, Morbi, Gondal, Dhrol. Before their rule over Kutch, four brothers named Ashpat, Gajpat, Narpat and Bhupat each held rule over areas such as parts of Afghanistan, Sindh and Pakistan.
[edit] History
The Jadeja clans that played major roles in helping to conquer Nawanagar from the Jethwa Rajputs, by aiding Jam Rawal were known as the Bhayaad (brotherhood), and were notably from senior branches of Jadeja clans such as those hailing from Sevak Dhunia. This information is widely available through various Royal historians (Raj Barot) of Jadeja clans.
