Khuman is a division of Kathi clan. History and origin A Wala Rajput named Werawal had married a brave kathi kshatriya woman named Rupde. His descendants became known as "Sakhayat" Kathis, (Kathis with substance) while other Kathis became known as "Awaratyas." Werawal had three sons, Wala, Khuman, and Khachar who gave their names to the three great Sakhayat divisions of their tribe now existing. These three Sakhayat divisions do not marry internally. The most celebrated are the Khuman Kathi, whose paliya, or funeral monumental pillars, are seen in groups in every town and village. He worships the cow, sports a lock of hair on his head, and adores Shiva and other Hindu deities, although he is more attached to the worship of Sooraj (Surya or the sun), and to Ambha and other goddesses.
