Yadava Caste

The Yadava caste is traditionally associated with pastoral and agricultural communities in northern India, particularly the Indian subcontinent. Historically, they are linked to the legends of Lord Krishna, who is considered a Yadava and symbolizes pastoral life. The caste primarily includes farmers, livestock keepers, and related trades. Over time, Yadavas have diversified into various professions, but their cultural identity remains rooted in agrarian and pastoral traditions. They are recognized as a significant social group with distinct customs, and their status varies across regions, reflecting the diverse social hierarchy within Indian society.
