Yaduvanshi Rajput
Yaduvanshi is a term used for describing various Ahir groups claiming descent from ancient Yadus. The Khanzadas of Tijara also claim descent from the Yaduvanshi.[1] Mysore has been ruled by a Hindu dynasty that claimed to be descended from an offshoot of the Yadava or Yaduvanshi Ahir dynasty line.[2][3][4][full citation needed]
Harald Tambs-Lyche believes that there is evidence,that a Chudasama kingdom existed at Junagadh in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The dynasty is traditionally said to have been founded in 875 CE and around 1030 received assistance from members of the Ahir community in order to restore its power following a conquest of the kingdom by the king of Gujarat. The Chudasamas are sometimes referred to as the Ahirani Ranis, and Tambs-Lyche says that, "The structure of the Chudasama state seems to have been an alliance between a small royal clan later to be classified as Rajputs and the Ahir tribe."[2] In Duyashraya and Prabandh Chintamani the king of Wamanasthali is described as Ahir Rana and the term can fairly be applied to Chudasama prince Noghan as he was placed on throne with the aid of the Ahirs.[3]
