The Kirar is a Hindu Rajput found in the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in India. They are also known as Kirar or Kirad.
History and origin
According to their traditions, the Kshatriya Kirar originate from Kiradkot (Kiradu) in Jaisalmer and over time migrated to different parts of Rajasthan.[citation needed] Kiradu was originally known as Kiradkot. It was ruled by the Kirad clan of Rajputs between the 6th and 8th centuries. In the early period they had been feudal subordinates of the Chalukya of Gujarat and hence the latter's influence is seen in the temples.
According to some other traditions, the word Kirar is derived from the word "Kshatriya", which refers to the Hindu varna for warriors.[citation needed]

- Rajasthan: Kota, Bundi, Baran and Bharatpur
