The Rajputs are a community of Hindus, who claim belonging to the Kshatriya or warrior varna. ==The main lineages== The Rajputs are divided into 36 clans, each clan belonging to one of three basic lineages (''vanshas'' or ''vamshas''): #the Suryavanshi lineage, claiming descent from Surya, the Hindu Sun-god or in English it is known as Solar Dynasty; #the Chandravanshi lineage, claiming descent from Chandra, the Hindu Moon-god or in English it is known as Lunar Dynasty;〔 #the Agnivanshi lineage, claiming descent from Agni, the Hindu god of fire. Four Rajput clans are considered to be Agnivanshi.They are Chauhans, Paramara, Solanki and Pratiharas.〔 But, these legends are mere myths with little factual support and are not mentioned in Vedas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rajput clans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
