Raijada or Raizada are one of the Rajput clans of Gujarat. They are off-shoot of Chudasama Rajputs. [1] The name Raijada was adopted by one Bhupatsinh, son of Ra' Mandlik, who was given jagir of Sorath[2][3] The Raijada, Rana, Sarvaiya and Chudasama consider themselves brothers, they off-shoot branches from Chudasama, so they do not intermarry, as per their Rajput traditions.[1][2] Until independence of India, they held extensive Jagirs near Keshod and Chorwad in Sorath.[2]
