The exact vansh of Sengar is Rishivansh

Sengar are a clan of Rajputs mainly found in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh states of India.

One of the 36 clan Rajput Kshatriya.

  • Vansh Munivansh,brahamkshatriya,suryavanshi,  Sringi Rishi,Rishi-vanshi
  • Gotra Gautam
  • Origin Sarawan, Jagmanpur (Jalon), Bhareh (Etawah),   Lakhnesar(Balia), Rura(UP), Datia(MP), Rewa (M.P) One of the 36 clan Rajput Kshatriya.
  • Vansh Munivansh,brahamkshatriya,suryavanshi, Sringi Rishi,Rishi-vanshi
  • Gotra Gautam
  • Origin Sarawan, Jagmanpur (Jalon), Bhareh (Etawah), Lakhnesar(Balia), Rura(UP), Datia(MP), Rewa (M.P)

The exact vansh of Sengar is Rishivansh. According to an ancient story father of Lord Rama, Raja Dashrath had given his daughter ‘SHANTA’ to Shringi rishi. The vansh created from that marriage is Sengar rajput. Possible derivation of the ’sengar’ name is (apart from ‘Sringi’ rishi) from ‘Chattis-kul-Singar’(the ornament or grand focal point of 36 kshtriya kul), a term often used by bards in praising the ruler. On his visit to the royal court or to a feudal lord, he recited the family’s genealogy and also the deeds of the ruler’s forefathers. In Mewar, along with other forms of glorification, a bard used terms such as Hindua Suraj (Sun amongst the Hindus), Gau Brahman Pratipal (Protector of Cows and Brahmans),

and Chattis-kul-Singar (Ornament Amongst the 36 Rulers). Not only was this visit meant to keep the ruler informed about the good deeds of his ancestors but also a message that he should also follow suit. After reciting all these exaltations, he would bless the ruler, then take his seat in the Durbar.

The locations in which Sengar rajputs dominate are in western UP, eastern UP, western Bihar and adjoining districts of MP -

  • Noorpur (about 25 km from Orai, UP) : The place has a rich population of Sengar thakurs (about 5000 thakur families).
  • Sarawan (about 17 km from Jalaun city, UP) : A large fort was built by Raja Shravan Dev of the Sengar rajput clan nearby the Yamuna river. Other nearby sites are Lanka tower, Chourasi Gumbad, etc.
  • Jagmanpur (9 km from Rampura, UP): Once the headquarters of the Sengar rajputs under Raja Rup Shah, also houses a large masonary fort. The confluence of five rivers nearby, known the “Panch Nada” is an added attraction for the tourist. The two forts can be visited with due permission from the owners. and some of the villgae there shekhpur bujurg, hadrukh, sirsa, madogrh, etc
  • Sahar (near Etawah) : Under Akbar’s reign the place probably comprised the bulk of the old pargana of Bidhuna, and to the south of it lay the mahal of Phaphund, whose local limits probably corresponded roughly with those of the pargana which was broken up only in 1894. Then, as now, Phaphund appears to have been occupied for the most part by Sengar rajputs and to judge from the amount of revenue it paid in proportion to its size, it must have been a well cultivated and populated tract of country. Its cultivated area is recorded as 111,546 bighas paying a revenue of 5,432,391 dams, its military contingent being 2,000 infantry and 300 cavalry.
  • Lakhnesar : At about the same time the Sengar rajputs in eastern UP were opposing the tyranny of Balwant Singh nazim of the sirkars of Jaunpur, Varanasi, Ghazipur and Chunar. Balwant Singh made it a habit of destroying the power of the local chieftains who offered resistance to Balwant Singh but in only one instance were their efforts successful. This exception was provided by the Sengars of pargana Lakhnesar, who not only treated his demands with contempt but adopted an attitude of open hostility. Not content with the refusal to pay revenue, they attacked and pillaged his treasuries so that eventually, in 1764, he was compelled to proceed against them in person with a large force. Rasra (in pargana Lakhnesar) was then most inaccessible by reason of the jungle which surrounded it and because the houses of the Sengar rajputs were all built with a view to defence. After two day’s conflict in which hundreds of lives were lost, Balwant Singh’s troops managed to set Rasra on fire, forcing the Sengars to withddaw :  but so obstinate was their resistance that Balwant Singh had to enter into a compromise. The Sengar rajputs being left in possession of their estates at a low but fixed revenue.

There is a group of 84 villages are called Chaurasi in which all the villages have Sengar thakurs in majority. It is in District Aligarh and Hathras (Uttar Pradesh).

Some of the Sengar rajputs are also in Haswa in Fatehpur district(78 KM from Kanpur).

  2. Ramesh Singh says:

    I Have No Matter with You. Tell me your Kuldevtas (Every Sengars in India have Same Common Dieties. Mr Ramesh Singh, who is on the Discussion Box is SEngar Rajput, but Never used Title As Sengar.

    Now You have to prove yourselves By giving your KULDEVTAS, Seniors Of SENGARS ORigins are watchin you.

    We the Rajput organisation, are watching you in mumbai.

  3. Ramesh Singh says:

    You have quoted in place, that we worship talwar on Dussera. Talwar is not a common dieties. I worship two barrel gun which was won by indian army in 1965 war. Now it is in the hand of Defence personnel(mine). I also worship Sewing machine, Pen , Books & my computer
    (it is a karmic puja) not dieties.

  4. Subhash Sengar says:

    Mr.”SHALENDRA PRATAP SINGH DIKHIT”,may I just ask in which profession are you?are you some kind of archeologist who knows everything about caste division system…if you have any proof about what you said in your above comments please let others also know about it..otherwise please don’t misguide other people or don’t give such comments about any community…

  5. Om Prakash Sengar says:

    Har-Har Mahadev Jai Shri Ram
    I have read your comments today. Some body has given abuse to the blood of Sengar of Hathras and Aligarh and you are stating that it is a just discussion. It is very shameful. You are not the authority and not my master that I will give the examination to you and for that you will issue the character and caste certificate to me. Govt. of India/Govt. of UP has already issued the certificate to me as Thakur Om Prakash Sengar. How ever your any quarry will be replied in the court when ever you will come in the support and defence of Mr. Shalender. Every thing is available in books. I do not know that how much time it will take as it is a time taking process so wait and watch.You have the better knowledge of Sengar Rajput.Can you tell me the name and history of your 10 Forefathers (not in bluff) instead of whole community of Sengar Raajputs.

  6. OM PRAKASH SENGAR says:

    Mr. Ramesh:- May you tell me the Rajput clans of your Foremothers and mother up to your best knowladge

  7. Om Prakash Sengar says:

    Mr. Ramesh:- It is a good thing that u are a Kshatriya and a member of Kshatriya Samaj of Mumbai. What have you done when people of Raj Thakre and Shiv Sena were beating and throwing out to non Marathi people from Mumbai? That time where was your Kshatriyaness and where was your Kshatriya Samaj?

  8. Om Prakash Sengar says:

    Who have used the sur name sengar initially with name?

  9. OM PRAKASH SENGAR says:

    Mr. Ramesh:- Reply regarding blood group will be given after consultaion of Doctors and Experts

  10. Om Prakash Sengar says:

    Mr. Ramesh:- There is no control of parents on the blood group of child. It is the God gift. I have discussed the matter on blood group with several Doctors and Experts and they said that it is impossible to have the same blood group as O+ve for whole society for several generations. It is possible if and if only, if the parents make their marry having the same blood group as O+ve time and again after checking the blood group as O+ve or they make their marry in the same community/group/kul. Such type incident does not occur in our society that is why our blood group does not match with you. Ancestral characters like smartness, height, and deceases etc. may come from parents in several generations not the blood group.This truth may also be confirmed from Doctors/experts if required.

  11. Vikash Kumar Singh says:

    the exxact vansh of sengar is rishivansh but from where the rishivansh originated was suryavansh, coz the origin is from manu…n thereafter the origin of chandravansh was also from suryavansh…n so thereafter the rishivansh came in origin..thus colonel todd in his history of rajputana has not wrongly termed sengars as suryavanshi…n so they were know as the 36 kul nshringar..the sirmaur of all the 36 clans…which needs to be accepted and also elaborated n displayed…the origin from shringi rishi is well mknown but who was shringi rishi…was he not a rajarshi, nsuryavanshi??/thus , the facts in history are to be well explained..thanks..

  28. Vikramaditya says:

    Mr. Omprakash, I have gone thru your discussion. Found to be very intresting. Do not be Angry, Be Calm. Quality of Sengar are :They are very soft spoken, Hard Hitting, very cooperative( taking all the communites together)People.

    Do you studied the history of Lakhneshwar (Balia). These people (very small groups )were migrated from Rajasthan to lakhneswar established in 13th Century. These are belived to be the last republic in India(which was ended in 1947, only independent state of India)

    We the Sengars Never give any laggans to Mugal/ British Empire. Fought a Gallantry war with Balwant singh Representative of Mugal Empire Later British. Capital of Sengars “Rasra was set on fire”. How a small band of sengars able to established rule in Balia? It was only possible , by taking the help of Lcals(Brahmin, Kshtriyas , Banias & low working class people). We never ruled like a king but only as chief. (refer official gazzete of Balia , 1907). It is clearly mentioned 83% of land owner were Sengars.

    in 19th century, many groups of sengare migrated to Nearby Areas of Wester Bihar.

  29. Vikramaditya says:

    In 20th Century (1905))Many Sengars Migrated to Nearby Areas of Western Bihar (sokha Baba, as common Dities). Now they are well settled and live like Lions. Many sengars also migrated to Metropolitan Cities like Mumbai, chennai, Goa, Bangalore etc.
