== Clans ==
The community has a number of exogamous clans. All the clans enjoy an equal status. The Pateliya clans have been grouped under six broader categories; they appear to have been borrowed from Rajputs. They are Parmar, Solanki, Jadav, Chauhan, Gohil and Rathor. Parmar includes Skya, Bhagat, Gangodiya Budia, Glot, Godad, Wagal, Chautar, Kochara Devaliya, Suswad and Eal, clans. Solanki consists of Jhaniya, Rojada (Rose), Nalwaya, Ananiya, Cohari, Bariya, Chopada and Hihor. Jadav consists of clans like Khaped, Bhuriya, Damor, Hathila. Chauhan includes clans like B'habhor, Pasaya, Katara, Mori, Dundawa, Dhakiya and Wawadiya. Gohil have only one clan, Gamar. Rathore includes clans like Chota and Bada. According to the Gazetteer of India (1972), "The Pateliyas found in Dohad claims Rajput descent". This is the plausible explanation for the grouping of clans under Rajput clan categories.<ref name="auto">''People of India: Rajasthan'' Volume XXXVIII Part Two edited by B. K. Lavania, D.
