The Anjana Chaudhari—also known as Anjana Chaudhary, or Anjana Kanabi—is a Kurmi Hindu^[1]^[2]^[3] Kshatriya caste found in the Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh states of India. They are also called Jagirdarar, Zamindar, or Choudhary in Rajasthan.

History

They are the descendants of Anjana Jata Shankara, the son of Atisur Bhadra, the son of Jat King Virabhadra.

Muhnot Nainsi reported the existence of "Anjana Jat" in a large number of villages of Merta City. In the caste-census of 1891, they are reported to have taken their caste-title or nomenclature from their home village. This statement makes sense of the evidence of the vagat.^{[clarification needed]} The Jat immigrants from Nagaur presumably derived their caste-title from the name of that village.

Clan list

In Rajasthan, the Anjana are divided into two broad territorial divisions: the Malvi and Gujarati. The Malvi Anjana are further divided into a number of exogamous clans such as the Bag, Bhuria, Dangi, Edit, Fak, Gardiya, Hun, Judar, Kag, Kawa, Kharon, Kondli, Kukal, Kuva, Logar, Mewar, Munji, Odh, Shih, Tarak, Vagada, and United. The Anjana speak the Malvi dialect of Rajasthani.

Kuldevi

The Kuldevi (ancestral tutelary deity) of the Anjana Chaudhari is Maa Arbuda. The main temple is located at Mount Abu, Rajasthan. In Gujarat, the main temples are located in Mehsana and Leba-bhema ni vavo Village, Mahisagar district. Katyayani maa may also be worshiped.
