Kamaria (or Kamariya, Kumheria, kamariha) also known as Yaduvanshi Thakur is a subdivison of Ahirs(Abhira) or Yadav Caste in India,

Etymology

• Some claim that 'Kamaria', is derived from Kamli, one of the other names for the lord Krishna.

Origin

Kamaria claim descent from Yaduvansha lineage and from Kamalnayan, an Ahir king from the Mahabharata era. In the Braj region, the Kamaria and other subdivisions of Ahirs were gradually absorbed into the Nandvanshi category of landlords and into the Yaduvanshi subdivision as a consequence of British so-called "official" ethnographies and racial theories.
