Rajput clans are organized under three royal lineages (vansh): Suryavanshi (Solar dynasty), Chandravanshi (Lunar dynasty), and Agnivanshi (born from the sacred fire at Mount Abu). Each clan has its own Kuldevi (family goddess) and gotra. There are 36 primary Rajput royal clans (Rajkul) with hundreds of sub-clans.
Marriage within the same Kul (clan) is strictly prohibited. Same-gotra marriages are also not allowed. Rajputs primarily identify by Kul and Vansh rather than gotra alone.
