Kamaria (Kamariya, Kumheria, kamariha) is a subdivision of Ahirs or Yadav caste in India.

Etymology

• Some claim that 'Kamaria', is derived from the name of king Kamalyan.

Origin

Kamarias claim descent from Kamalnayan, an Abhira 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 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. 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.
