Which of the following Rajput clans is associated with the Agnivanshi (fire-born) origin?

Explanation

The Agnivanshi tradition places Chauhan among the four fire-born Rajput clans, along with Pratihara, Parmar and Solanki. This tradition is linked to Mount Abu, where the clans are said in legend to have emerged from a sacrificial fire pit, or agni kund. Encyclopaedia Britannica describes Agnikula as the fire lineage and states that Chauhan was one of the major Rajput dynasties that claimed this lineage, based on a myth of an ancestor arising from sacrificial fire. The essential cultural-history fact is Chauhan's place in the Agnivanshi origin set, not its political chronology.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Kachhwaha is not one of the four Agnivanshi clans, so it does not fit the fire-born origin tradition.
• (C) Sisodia does not belong to the Agnivanshi group of Chauhan, Pratihara, Parmar and Solanki.
• (D) Bhati is not part of the four-clan Agnivanshi set linked to the Mount Abu fire-pit legend.

Concept

Rajput clan-origin traditions are part of Rajasthan History, Art & Culture. Clan identities, origin legends and ruling-lineage claims are standard cultural-history facts in RAS preparation.
