Origin

Lord Krishna, the professed ancestor of Kamaria Ahirs.

Locally in Braj region of Uttar Pradesh, Which includes Mathura, Shikohabad, Jalesar, Agra, Hathras, Aligarh, Etah, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Etawah and Farrukhabad districts of Uttar Pradesh.

Kamarias profess to be descendants from Yaduvansha (Yadav Vansha of Krishna vansh).)Lineage.

The Kamaria clan claims descent 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.

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. This family as of today owns the Mahadev Ghat Akhara.

“The Ghosi kept shouting while the Kamaria married the bride”, The story behind this idiom is rooted in a traditional tale. According to the legend, a father accidentally arranged his daughter’s marriage to two men of Ahir caste but from different Subclans—a Kamaria and a Ghosi. On the wedding day, both grooms arrived at the bride's home. In an attempt to resolve the situation, the father placed an obstacle in the path of the wedding procession(Baraat), declaring that the first groom to reach the wedding altar (mandap) would marry his daughter. While the Ghosi groom stood still, pondering and shouting what to do, the Kamaria groom quickly removed the obstacle and raced ahead, reaching the mandap first and marrying the girl.
