Raijada

Raijada or Raizada are one of the Yaduvanshi Rajput clans. They were an off-shoot of Chudasama ^[1] Rajputs.The name Raijada was adopted by one Bhupatsinh, son of Ra' Mandlik, who was given jagir of Sorath ^{[2] [3]} The Raijada, Jadeja, Jadaun, Chokker, Bhati, Wadiyar, Sarvaiya and Chudasama consider themselves brothers, as they were off-shoot branches from Chudasamas, so they do not intermarry, as per their Rajput traditions. ^{[1] [2]} Until independence of India, they held extensive Jagirs near Keshod and Chorwad in Sorath. ^[2]
