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

Ethnic group
Ahir
Regions with significant populations
Uttar Pradesh, Braj
Languages
Braj Bhasha, Hindi
Religion
Hindu

Etymology

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

Origin

Lord Krishna, the professed ancestor of Kamaria Ahirs.

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.

Synonyms, Titles, and Gotras

  • Synonyms: Uprelia Ahir Yaduvanshi Thakur, Bundel Thakur Kaoras

History

The Ahir Para of Mathura, i.e. the Sadar Bazaar is said to be established by two families originally from Kannauj, Chaudhari Parivar (the Head Family) and Dudh Parivar (the Milk Family). The Milk Family belonged to Tulsi Ram, a Sepoy of Deshwar gotra of the Kamaria clan. As of today, this family owns the Mahadev Ghat Akhara.

Kamaria Ahir used to have Zamindari in Jaurasi, a village in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh.

Distribution

Kamaria Ahirs are mostly found in western Uttar Pradesh and in some parts of Madhya Pradesh, which includes Mathura, Agra, Etawah (most numerous in Etawah), Mainpuri, Etah, Firozabad, Jhansi, Gwalior, Bhind, Shivpuri, Jabalpur, and others.

Notable figures
