Rajpurohit[a] is a martial race of Brahmin origin residing in South Asia natively in western Rajasthan of India.[3] Their ancestors belonged to the family line of SaptRishis. They maintain traditions that are similar to both Brahmins and Rajputs.[4]
They have historically been involved in administration, trade, vassals, royal council members, as warriors, jagirdars and Feudal lords[5] and are spread across the entire country. They were given control of villages at boundary of kingdom for the purpose of security of state. According to political analysts, the Rajput, Charan and Rajpurohit communities are considered to be identical in regards to their social customs and political ideologies.[6]
