Bhadauria

Last updated

Bhadauria also referred as Bhadoria, Bhadouria, Bhadauriya, Bhadoriya or Bhaduria are a Kshatriya Rajput clan belonging to the Chauhans of Shakambhari and Ajmer. They were historically mainly concentrated in the ethno-linguistic and geographical regions of the modern day Braj and the Chambal river valley, in what are now the districts of Agra, Etawah, Bhind and Dholpur, in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. [1]

The chief of the clan was the ruler of the Bhadawar Estate in the region of Bhind in Madhya Pradesh before the Partition of India in 1947. The rulers of Bhadawar commissioned the construction of the Ater Fort, situated near Bhind, which later also served as their ruling seat. The majority of the Bhadaurias today are present in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Delhi.

The Badhauria Rajputs mostly worship the Shiva (the destroyer), Surya (the sun god), and Durga (the mother goddess). [2]

During the decline of the Mughal Empire, Raja Kalyan Singh Bhadauria obtained possession of the Princely state of Dholpur in the state of Rajasthan. Thus the boundaries of the estate extended up to Gwalior in the South, Dholpur in the West, Mathura, Agra and Etawah in the North and parts of Kanpur in the East.
