Chattar (Chattari, Chhatri or Chatri) is the mother caste of
Suryavanshi Rajputs which originated from
Rajputana (
Rajasthan). However, there are many
gotras and
sub-castes in other major dynasties which emerged from the
Chattari lineage. Chattaris belong to the
Kshatriya military and ruling order of the traditional Vedic-Hindu social class system as outlined in the
Vedas.
