Part 1

In https://sites.google.com/view/agnivahnikukutpally/vanniagnikula-kshatriya-literature, అగ్నికులక్షత్రియుల చరిత్ర  పుట్టుపూర్వోత్తరాలు=AgnikulaKshatriyulu PuttuPoorvottaraalu Book by శ్రీ రేకాడి సముద్రరావు(in 3 parts)  is downloadable. In this book, he expressed that 2 gotras{Ravikula gotram/Jambumaharshi gotram (Jambumaharshi:https://sites.google.com/view/agnivahnikukutpally/jambu-maharshi )} are applicable for AVKKs. He categorically viewed that Raghukula gotram is not to be used among the community folk. He mentioned Raghukula gotram is not applicable for AKKs. The author శ్రీ రేకాడి సముద్రరావు's  admonishment is that the community folk should correctly use Ravikula and not Raghukula as the gotra name. AKK Yuva Jana Mitra Sangham regd. no.547/2018, Amalapuram division follows the version of శ్రీ రేకాడి సముద్రరావు గారు's book. This is indicated in the photo image of their document which is available below.

However, the disparity as to whether the Gotra is RaviKula/RaghuKula continues as, of late, there is an antagonistic view point to the version in the  శ్రీ రేకాడి సముద్రరావు's book. The prevalence of RaghuKula gotra is garnering ground as some community folk noncompliantly follow it and there are some pockets of the community population who follow them.

 In https://www.indianrajputs.com/history,  the Gotras mentioned for the major Agnivanshi clans are: Bhaal , Vatsa, Vashishtha, Bhardwaj, Manavya, Parashar. This is the variegated prevalence of the Gotram of Agnivamshi Rajputs in northern India.

Major Agnivanshi clans

1.Bhaal:

The bhaal gotra of rajputs belong to Garhmukteshwar Bulandshar Siyana Aligarh and many parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.There are 62 villages in Garhmukteshwar and Siyana tehseel.In these villages various gotras of Rajput/Chauhans are lived and married in different gotras of rajput clans.Mainly all rajput gotra of this area called Chauhan and this palace called Chauhanpuri.The gotras are mostly Vats Gahlot Bhaal Kuchawah Kemlaksha Bhati Parihar Tomar and many more.

2.Chauhan:

The Chauhan (also known as Nirban) are of Agnivanshi lineage. Their state was initially centered around Khetri, Khandela, Alsisar Malsisar, Srimadhopur, Alwar, Jhunjhunu, Sikar and Churu. According to legend and clan history, the Nirwan or Nirban are with Maharana Pratap against Akbar in Haldighati Battle. Nirban's have many gotras, most of these gotras are Baloji, Pithoraji, Kaluji. Another clam using the same name originated as feudatories of the Pratiharas and rose to power in the wake of the decline of that power. Their state was initially centered around Sambhar in present-day Rajasthan. In the 11th century, they founded the city of Ajmer which became their capital. In the 12th century, their the then King Prithviraj Chauhan acquired Delhi from his maternal grand father, the then King Anangpal. Their most famous ruler was Prithviraj Chauhan, who won the First Battle of Tarain against an invading Muslim army but lost the Second Battle of Tarain the following year. This loss heralded a prolonged period of Muslim rule over northern India. The 12th century-valorous king, Prithvi Raj Chouhan, is an AgnikulaKshatriya as mentioned in Chandbar Dai's Prithvi Raj Ruso, a biography of Prithvi Raj Chouhan.

In the 14th century the Dodiya Rajputs migrated to Gujarat and established their kingdom around Girnar Junagadh. The first rajah of this state was Phul Singh Dodiya, followed by Rawat Soorsinghji, Rawat Chandrabhansinghji, Rawat Krishnaji, Rawat Chalotji and Rawat Arjundasji. A small number of the Dodiya migrated to Mewar accompanying the Rajmata of Mewar as an escort. The Dodiyas proved their valour in various battles in the service of Mewar, including the Battle of Haldighati, and were rewarded with the jagir of Lava (later called Sardargarh).

5.Mori:

The Mori clan is one of the 36 royal clans of Rajputs & falls in 24 eka clans which are not divided further. Mori Rajputs are sub clan of Parmara Rajputs of Agnivansh. They ruled Chittor & Malwa till early part of eighth century & built the biggest fort in India at Chittor in the reign of Chitrangad Mori (Ref: Archaeological survey of India)). Last king of Mori Dynasty of Chittor was Maan Singh Mori who fought against Arab invasion. Qasim attacked Chittor via Mathura. Bappa, of guhilote (Sisodia) dynasty, was a commander in Mori army. After defeating Bin Qasim, Bappa Rawal obtained Chittor in dowry from Maan Singh Mori in 734 A.D. Then onwards Chittor is ruled by Sisodia Rajputs.Later Mori & Parmar Rajputs continued to rule Malwa until Muslim incursions. Of late they remained as smaller royal states & jagirdars in the central India in present state of Madhya Pradesh, presently settled in Dhar, Ujjain, Indore, bhopal, Narsinghpur & Raisen.

6.Naga:

The Naga were one of the ancient most kshatriya tribes of India who evolved from Suryawansha (the Solar Clan of ancient Kshtriyas of India) and ruled large parts of the country at different times. They spread throughout India during the period of the epic Mahabharata. Anthropologist Gelek Lonbsang believes they have distant ancestry with East Asians based on their similar physical features. The demi-god tribe called Suparnas (in which Garuda belonged) were arch-rivals of the Nagas. However, the Nagas near Kashmir seems to be the original abode of all of them. Places like Anantnag attests this theory. The worshippers of Naga were supposedly known as Naga or Nagil. Some Nair and Bunt clans claims to be of Nagvanshi origin. The trace of nagvanshi can be find out in Chotanagpur i.e. Jharkhand (Rai) community and (Shahdeo) community are also nagvanshi Rajput.

7.Paramara:

Paramaras are Agnivanshi Rajputs that were near-neighbours of the Solankis. They originated as feudatories of the Rashtrakutas and rose to power in the 10th century. They ruled Malwa and the area at the border between present-day Gujarat and Rajasthan. Bhoja, the celebrated king of Malwa, belonged to this dynasty. In the 12th century, the Paramaras declined in power due to conflict with the Solankis and succumbed to attack from the Delhi sultanate in 1305.

They went into decline in the 13th century and were displaced by the Vaghela/Baghela.
