Chavan or Chavhan is a Maratha clan found largely in Maharashtra, India, and neighbouring states.[1][2]
Origin
Chavan Maratha is a part of the 96 Maratha Clans (Chandravanshi) descendants of Prithivraj Chauhan. They were Generals and Nobles in the Swaraj of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.[3] There are claims that they are Somvanshi, a larger category to which Agnivansh belong.[4][5]
