The kingdom or dynasty of the Baradas had their own princes and nobles and were further separated into sub-clans and families. Their name can also be spelled as Bārada.
The Rajputs are a Hindu race claiming to be descendants of the ancient Kṣatriya-varṇa (warrior caste). Originally, the Rajputs consisted of two principal branches: the Sūryavaṃśa (solar race) and the Candravaṃśa (lunar race), to which later was added the Agnivaṃśa (fire-born race).
