Introduction / History

The Sengar (or Sangar) are one of the Rajput Kshatriya clans. The exact lineage of Sengar is Rishivansh. According to an ancient story, the father of Lord Rama, Raja Dashrath, had given his daughter 'Shanta' to Shringi Rishi. The lineage created from that marriage is Sengar Rajput.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Though many Sengar Rajputs are still in the armed forces or own land, many have moved on to other livelihoods. Some Rajputs now own impressive hotels in Rajasthan where tourists can be introduced to their history and culture. Rajputs who aren't so fortunate work as small businessmen or wage laborers.

They try to marry their daughters into clans of higher rank than their own. The Rajput clans in Rajasthan have the highest status, so families want their daughters to marry men from that state. Unfortunately, Rajputs often marry their daughters off while they are very young.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Hindu Sanghar people believe in Jakh Dada (Yaksh Dev). Jakh Dada was a 'gana' or attendant of Lord Shiva. In Kachchh Jakh Dada was believed to have saved this caste around the 7th century, and since then the Sanghar have believed in Jakh Dada whom they built a temple for. Every year Sanghar people and all of Kachchi celebrate the festival of Jakh Dada.

What Are Their Needs?

The Sengar Rajputs need to submit to Jesus Christ so they can experience the abundant life He offers them in John 10:10.

Prayer Items

Pray that the Sengar Rajputs will have a spiritual hunger that will open their hearts to the King of kings. Pray for the Lord to thrust out the right people to the Sengar Rajputs as Christ’s ambassadors.
