Jadeja
The Jadeja (also spelled Jarejo or Jareja) (Gujarati: Jāḍejā[1]) is a Yaduvanshi Rajput clan which is a branch of the Chandravanshi lineage and claim to descent from Sambha (son of Lord Krishna and Jambawati).[2][3] Thus, Jadejas claim to be decendents of the Hindu deity Krishna.[4][5]
They ruled various parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttarpradesh states of India,[6][7] including major parts of present day Gujarat, notably the princely states of: Kutch, Nawanagar, Rajkot, Morvi, Gondal and Dhrol.[8]
