Rathore

Rathore or Rathod is a ruling Rajput clan, claiming descent from the mythical Suryavansha (Solar dynasty). However, historians state that such claims of solar and lunar descent are common among the various Rajput clans. 

According to British indologist and historian V. A. Smith, the Rathores are offshoot of the Gahadawal dynasty while others link their descent from the Rashtrakutas.
