Chandravansh 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]
