The '''Gandhavariya''' (also known as '''Gandhawariya''' and '''Gandhawaria''') are a [[Rajput]] clan based in northern [[Bihar]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.534083/page/n339 | title=Comprehensive History Of Bihar Vol.1; Pt.2 | date=1974 | access-date=8 January 2019 | author=Bindeshwari Prasad Sinha}}</ref> They ruled over parts of [[Madhepura district]]<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/1011_PART_B_DCHB_MADHEPURA.pdf|title=District Census Handbook, Madhepura|publisher=Directorate of Census Operations, Bihar|year=2011|pages=11}}</ref> and [[Saharsa district]] during medieval times after the decline of the [[Oiniwar Dynasty]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://lrc.bih.nic.in/Gazetteer/Saharsa/chapter-II.pdf|title=History- General |page=35}}</ref>

==Origin==
One of the theories put forward about the origins of the Gandhavariyas is that they originate from a branch of the [[Karnat dynasty]] of Mithila that remained in the region after the Karnat king, [[Harisimhadeva]] fled to [[Kathmandu]] following the invasion of [[Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq]].<ref name=Pathak83>{{cite journal | url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.283324/page/n567 | title=Origin of the Gandhavaria Rajputs of Mithila | author=P. Pathak | journal=The Journal of the Bihar Puravid Parisad | year=1983 | volume= Vii And Viii | pages=406–420}}</ref>

==History==
The writer [[Jyotirishwar Thakur]] recorded the existence of the ''Gandhavariyas Rajaputas'' in his 14th century book [[Varna Ratnakara|''Varṇa Ratnākara'']] and detailed how they held sway over much of North Bihar.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.108178/page/n159 | title=Mithila In The Age Of Vidyapati | publisher=Chaukhambha Orientalia | access-date=14 January 2019 | author=Radhakrishna Choudhary | pages= 131–132}}</ref> The traditions of the Gandhavariyas record that prior to their ascendancy in the region, they were engaged in a war with the [[Bhar]] who the Gandhavariyas claim to have finished.<ref name="Choudhary1970">{{cite book|author=Radhakrishna Choudhary|title=History of Muslim rule in Tirhut, 1206-1765, A.D.|url=https://archive.org/details/HistoryOfMuslimRuleInTirhut|year=1970|publisher=Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series Office|page=[https://archive.org/details/HistoryOfMuslimRuleInTirhut/page/n130 116]}}</ref>

The [[zamindar]]i estate of [[Sonbarsa Raj]] was established by Raja Ranjit Singh who belonged to the Gandhavariya clan. They also controlled Baruari and Barail.<ref name=Pathak83 />
