Chandravansh (चंद्रवंश) Chandravanshi (चंद्रवंशी) is one of the types of kshatriyas. These Kshatriya communities claim descent from Chandra. One of Brahma's son was Ādī, whose son was Chandra (Soma), from whom started Chandravansh. [1] Thakur Deshraj writes that those who follow the Lunar calendar for time calculation are Chandravanshi kshatriyas. [2] [3]
