Chaupata Khamb.—A Râjput sept found in small numbers in the Benares
division. According to Mr. Sherring [234] in the city of Benares they
are chiefly engaged in the manufacture of fine wire used in the frames
on which cloth of various description is woven. They trace their
descent to two Sarwariya Brâhman brothers, Baldeo and Kuldeo, who
settled at Pathkhauli, in the Jaunpur district. Râja Jay Chand is said
to have given his daughter in marriage to Baldeo, on which Kuldeo, to
mark his anger, erected a pillar (khamb), and the descendants of Baldeo
are hence called chaupata or “ruined.”
Chauseni—(Chahu, four; sena, an army).—A sub-caste of Banyas found
principally in the Meerut, Agra, and Rohilkhand Divisions. They are
said to be a spurious branch of the Bârahseni (q.v.). They hold very
low rank among Banyas. Till recently all the higher castes refused to
eat and drink things touched by them. They say they came from Mathura,
and claim descent from Chânûra, the wrestler of Râja Kansa, from whom
Chamârs also say they are sprung. Another story is that they are
descended from one Râja Phonda of Chanderi by an unmarried woman named
Kundaliya.
