Sinsinwar (Hindi:सिनसिनवार) is a gotra of Jats found in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, India. The Bharatpur rulers of the Sinsinwar gotra have originated from Sini/Shini in the ancestry of Krishna;[3][4] which itself is derived from Krishna's own gotra, Vrishni.[5] They are Chandravanshi kshatriyas.[1][2] Before the formation of Bharatpur state, the capital of Sinsinwars is said to be at Sinsini.

History

The rulers of Bharatpur claim originally to have been Yadavs,[6] the descendants of Krishna. Some historians claims that Sinsinwar gotra originated from a village named Sinsina,[7] named after Sinsina; who is considered to be the patron saint of all Sinsinwars, and also has a temple in his name "Sinsina Baba ka Mandir" in Bharatpur. It has also been claimed that a Chandravanshi Yadav, is said to have migrated from Bayana to the Deeg jungles and founded a village named Sinsini, named after Sinsina, the tutelary deity.[8]
