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.
