Jadaun

Jadaun or Jadon is a Yaduvanshi Rajput clan, a branch of the Chandravanshi lineage.[1][2] It is believed that once they ruled the major parts of Mathura and later shifted to Bayana and Karauli.[3]

They claim descent from the Yaduvanshi Rajput lineage and thus claim to be direct descendants of Lord Krishna.[4] There are a large number of Jadaun Rajput villages around Mathura and Vrindavan in UttarPradesh state of India.[5][6][7]
