Overview

The Kachwaha, also spelled as Kachavaha, Kuchhwaha Kachhawa, Kacchavahas, Kushwaha, Kakutstha, Kacchapghata, and Kurma are a Suryavanshi Rajput clan who ruled a number of kingdoms and princely states in India. The places ruled by the Kachwaha Kings include Alwar, Talcher, Maihar, while the largest kingdom was Jaipur, earlier known as Jainagara. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II founded Jaipur in 1727. The Maharaja of Jaipur is regarded as the head of the extended Kachwaha clan. Other than the state of Rajasthan, the Kachwaha Kings are found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but are chiefly found in Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Muttra, Agra and Cawnpore. Many Kachwaha Kings came from the Gwalior to Jalaun, where settlements were established in Etawah. The Kachwaha Kings of Bulandshahr have descended from Narwar and the Kachwaha Kings of Muzaffarnagar call themselves Jhotiyana.
