The Parihar or Pratihar(also spelled asPurihar[1] andPadihar) is a clan (gotra) found in theRajput,[2][3]Meena,[4] andGadia Lohar[5][6]caste groups of theIndian subcontinent.
Mishra (1977) investigated that, there are three lineage groups in the Gadulia-Lohars of Rajathan. They are Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi, and Agnivanshi and in his later investigations he found 36 clans. Some important clans are Sisodiya, Chauhan, Solanki, Panwar, Parihar, Rathors, Deghi, Sankla and Palvank.
The Gaduliya Lohars consider themselves as a clean caste but other higher caste treats them as an unclean caste. They are divided into different clans (gotras) namely, Panwar, Badhana, Chauhan, Rathore, Dabi, Solanki, Sankhla, Parihar and Gehlot and three lineages namely Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi and Agnivanshi.
