Yaduvanshi Rajputs

Yaduvanshi Rajputs is a term used for describing various Rajput groups claiming descent from ancient Yadus. The Khanzadas of Tijara also claim descent from the Yaduvanshi Rajputs. Mysore has been ruled by a Hindu dynasty that claimed to be descended from an offshoot of the Yadava dynasty line. Madhuriputra, Ishwarsena and Shivdatta were well known Ahir kings who mingled with Yadav Rajputs.

Tha Bhati Rajput royal house of Jaisalmer is also known as Chhatra Yadavpati (sons of Yadavs), reflecting their descent from Krishna, the first Yaduvanshi or member of Yadav clan. The bardic accounts unanimously ascribe origin of Chudasama Rajputs to Chandrachud Yadav of Samma tribe. The Chudasama of Junagarh are considered to be Ahirs and the descendants of Abhira tribe too.
