Khuman is a Division of Kathi clan.
History and origin[edit]
A Wala Rajput named Werawal had married a brave kathi kshatriya woman named Rupde. His descendants became known as "Sakhayat" Kathis, (Kathis with substance) while other Kathis became known as "Awaratyas." Werawal had three sons, Wala, Khuman, and Khachar who gave their names to the three great Sakhayat divisions of their tribe now existing.
These three Sakhayat divisions do not marry internally.
The most celebrated are the Khuman Kathi, whose paliya, or funeral monumental pillars, are seen in groups in every town and village. He worships the cow, sports a lock of hair on his head, and adores Shiva and other Hindu deities, although he is more attached to the worship of Sooraj (Surya or the sun), and to Ambha and other goddesses.

Loma Khuman of Kherdi State resided here for some time when Noghanji Gohil was ruling at Gariadhar. Khimo Chandsir, also a Kathi, was at this time Noghanji's minister. As he was a distant connection of Loma Khuman's that chieftain invited him one day to Ansodar. While there he said to him that as vegetables abounded at Gariadhar, Noghanji should send him some. Khimo replied proudly that Noghanji was not a greengrocer that he should supply Loma with vegetables, Loma angrily rejoined that he would send his horsemen both to take the vegetable and also lift the cattle. To this Khimo answered that when Lotna's horsemen should come he would endeavour to give them a fitting reception. Some days afterwards, Loma sent two hundred chosen horse, who both ravaged the gardens of Gariadhar and drove off the cattle.[3]
