Rathore clan
Rathore is a Subdivision and Suryavanshi Royal clan. They initially ruled in the Rashtrakuta Royal dynasty of south India in the 7th and early 10th centuries.
Origin
The Rathores claim they are descended from the legendary Suryavanshi and Chandravanshi lineages of ancient India. According to this tradition, the Rathores are descended from the Lunar Dynasty (Chandravanshi) and can trace their ancestry back to Lord Rama and the Ikshvaku Dynasty one of the most ancient and legendary dynasties of India according to Hindu mythology[1][2].
According to some modern historians, Rathores originated from the Rashtrakuta's ancestors.[3][4][5] Some Branches of Rashtrakutas had migrated to Western Rajasthan as early as the late tenth century; some inscriptions of "Rathauras" have been founded in and around Marwar region of Rajasthan dating from the tenth to early thirteenth century; it's believed the Rathores might have emerged from one of the Rashtrakuta divisions.[6][7]
