Ranjanka (Great King) Bhumi Chand was the originator of the Katoch Dynasty. He was the first Great King of the Chandra Vanshi group (sub-group Katoch) of Kshatriyas. His reference is also available in the Puran, the holy book of Hindus, named as "Brahmand Puran". According to this holy book, with the blessing of Goddess Parvati, he was born in the month of April/May, the date in which Asthami falls. He was born in Chandra Vanshi group of Kshatriyas.
