Origin of #Rathore__Kshatriya Clan of Rajputs Era .

Rashtrakut was a mighty dynasty of Deccan, who ruled between C.E. 753 to 982. The Rashtrakut empire was spread all over southern part of India and it also covered Gujarat, Malwa and Rajasthan. The Rathore clan was originated from Rashtrakuts of Deccan. Kandhar (near Nanded of Maharashtra) was the first capital of Rastrakuts, which was later shifted to Malkhed (Manyakhet) in present day Gulbarga district of Karnataka.

During the rule of Rashtrakuts on Gujarat, Malwa and Rajasthan, many families relating to this dynasty migrated from South to this region. Their descendents are known as Rathore (Rathod). The word Rathod is derived from the original Marahatti language word Ratthawud.
