In the Hindu tradition, Gwalvanshi is a term for those who claim descent from the Gwala or herdsman dynasty and the Gopis, who played with the god Krishna in the woods of Vrindavan and Gokul. The term indicates an association with sacred cows.
Etymology[edit]
The term Gwal was derived from Gopal or "protector of cows"[1]
