Kachwaha
The Kachwaha (also spelled as Kacchavahas, Kachhawa, Kuchhwaha , Kushwaha, and includes Kacchapghata, Kakutstha, and Kurma) are a Suryavanshi Rajput clan which was ruling a number of kingdoms and princely states, including Jaipur, Alwar, Jammu and Kashmir, Amethi and Maihar, before India's independence in 1947. The largest and oldest of these was Jaipur, previously known as Amber, before founding of Jaipur city by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in 1727; the Maharaja of Jaipur is regarded as the head of the extended Kachawa clan.
