The Gaduliya Lohars consider themselves as a clean caste but other higher caste treats them as an unclean caste. They are divided into different clans (gotras) namely, Panwar, Badhana, Chauhan, Rathore, Dabi, Solanki, Sankhla, Parihar and Gehlot and three lineages namely Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi and Agnivanshi.
