    ones are the Chauhans, whose former capital
    was Ajmer; the Gehlots of Mewar; the Rathors
    of Marwar; and the Kachhwaha of Jaipur.

    to marry their daughters into clans of higher
    rank than their own, while accepting
    daughters-in-law from clans of lower rank.
    The Rajput clans in Rajasthan have the highest
    standing, so families with sons in Rajasthan
    often are sought by those with daughters.

    cotton wrapped around the waist and
    then drawn between the legs and tucked
    into the waist), often with a cotton tunic.
    Rajput men may also wear a short
    jacket, or angarhkha, that fastens on the
    right side. Rajput men wear turbans that
    are tied to represent their particular clan.
    Rajput women wear the sari (a length of
    fabric wrapped around the waist, with
    one end thrown over the right shoulder.

    • FOOD
    • Rajputs' dietary patterns vary
    by region. In drier parts of
    India, their staple diet
    consists of various
    unleavened breads (roti) ,
    pulses (legumes), and
    vegetables.
    Rice (chawal) and milk
    products are also important.
