A sub-group of the Indian Rajput clan, Rava (or Rawa) Rajputs are categorized high caste rajputs as its members claim descendancy from different ancestors and dynasties. They are associated with another 6 of the 36 Rajput clans: the Gahlot, Kushwaha, Tanwar, Yadu, Chauhan and Panwar. Most members add the title Singh & Verma to their surname; others who belong to Tanwar clans of the Chandar Vans, identify themselves with the names Tanvar, or Mogha.The "Mogha" are descendents of great Rajput King "Amoghpal Singh Tanwar". The clan also subdivides into castes on the basis of social acceptance.
