The Rajputs are a community of Hindu origin, who claim to be of the Kshatriya or warrior varna.[1][2] However, modern historians agree that some Rajputs consisted of a mix of various different social groups including Shudras and tribals.[3][4]
The main lineages
There are three basic lineages (vanshas or vamshas). Each of these lineages is divided into several clans (kula) (total of 36 clans).[5]
Suryavanshi
The Suryavanshi lineage (also known as the Raghuvanshies or Solar Dynasty) are clans who believed to be descent from Surya, the Hindu Sun-god.[6]
Chandravanshi
The Chandravanshi lineage (Somavanshi or Lunar Dynasty) claims to be descent from Chandra, the Hindu Moon-god.[6]
Agnivanshi
The Agnivanshi lineage is claiming descent from Agni, the Hindu god of fire.[6]
