Rajput clans in Kumaon

• Surajbansi Katyuri
• Chand
• Panwar

There are many sub-clans of these three prominent clans therefore I suggest to remove others and add these three only ShrimanBhakt (talk) 07:01, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Bisht, Negi and Adhikari are titles used by Rajputs in Kumaon. Negis are described as Khasiyas of Kumaon and Garhwal in both the Gazetteers of Kumaon and Tehri Garhwal. There are a total of 17 sub-clans among Bisht Rajputs and Adhikaris are considered as a sub-division of the Bishts ShrimanBhakt (talk) 07:06, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Please add this and remove the others as some clans mentioned in the Kumaoni Rajput clans section are not mentioned in the given references. ShrimanBhakt (talk) 07:14, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Which other clans are the ones not supported in the reference? — Rtrb (talk) (contribs) 19:32, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Aswal and Basera are not mentioned in The Himalayan Gazetteer, Volume 3 Part 2. Bisht, Negi and Adhikari are titles and should not be confused to be clans. ShrimanBhakt (talk) 13:08, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

History

The Kumaoni Rajputs formed the ruling aristocracy in the Kumaon Kingdom. Many of these Rajput families were founded in the 6th-11th centuries by the scions of ancient houses who migrated into Kumaon from various parts of North India. The most illustrious among these lineages were the Katyuris and the Chands who were the rulers of Kumaon while the prominent clans included Manrals, Rautelas, Karkis (Kharkus), 17 sub-clans among the Bisht Rajputs, 4 sub-clans among the Adhikari Rajputs, Boras, Mahras (Maharas), Negi Rajputs and Panwars.

These Rajput families held fiefdoms and served as military commanders and administrators under the Chand dynasty. The prominent among these families were the Burhas of Kali Kumaon and the Sayanas of Pali who held higher ducal status as Thakurs and were among the premier feudal lords of the Kumaon Kingdom. These Rajput houses exercised an under-proprietary interest in the land they administered, but also discharged civil and military functions. They were given special privileges to use their own personal standards and insignias.

The titles of Bisht and Adhikari were given to Rajputs who were important officials of the state such as Sardars and Faujdars while the junior officials were given the titles of Rawat and Negi. These became status symbols and were used as additional or secondary clan titles by the descendants of the person initially invested with it or in many cases these titles completely replaced the clan names.
