"In Vedanti & Hindu mythology, The Kumhars are said the descendants of Prajapati,Lord Brhama, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Maharaj Manu are also Prajpaties."

"As per Veda or in Vedic Era, ther Prajapties were elected by democratic way. Lord Vishnu was first elected democratically/unanimously as Prajapati(In the North of Aryavrat or Bharta) by all the Rishis and subjects of that era and sit on the throne of Prajapti, thereafter, Lord Brhama was elected as Prajapati (In the west of Aryavrat or Bharta), thereafter Lord Shankar(In the South of Aryavrat or Bharta) or Rudras were elected as Prajapties; the throne of Prajpati succeedes further and there were about 26 Prjapaties were mentioned as per Veda.There were also mention of Sabha and Smiti who were asked to protect Prajapti(King Or Virat Manav) and Prajapti asked to protect them."

"Other explanations about them being called Prajapati exist In Shiv Purana, while Narad Ji listens Shiv Tatva from God Brahma, he [who?] calls God Brahmaji as Prajapati, so Brahmaji himself is also a Prajapati."

"Traditionally, the Kumhars have been the followers of the Dharmic religions (especially Hinduism), but many adopted Islam after the Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent."

" Prajapati • Kumbhar"

"Kumhar or Kumbhar, also known as Prajapati, means protector and preserver (King) and is a caste or community of India, mainly belonging to the Hindu religion. Kumhar literally means potter in Indian languages, and pottery is the traditional occupation of Prajapatis beside governing the Praja (People."

"The Kumhar community is found throughout India, but mainly in the northern states of India including Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal, Western Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, South IndiaRajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal."

"Mythological origin of kumhars/Prajapatis

The Kumhars derive their name from the Sanskrit word Kumbhakar meaning earthen pot maker. They are also known as Kumbhar(Marathi), Prajapati, Prajapat, Ghumiyar, Ghumar, Kumbhkaar . Today, the Kumhar caste is mainly found in India. Some Kumhars trace their origin to the beginning of civilization when man started using utensils to prepare and eat food. They consider themselves to be the starters of the world's first industry (i.e., pottery).

"The sons of Lord Brahma are known to be Prajapatis. There are subcastes that are common in both Kumhars and Brahmins. Brahmans are claimed to be offspring of Prajapatis.

"In Vedantic & Hindu mythology, the Kumhars are the descendants of Lord Prajapati Daksha, son of Lord Brahma. Therefore, they are also known as Prajapati. Daksha Prajapati was a great scholar of Yajur Veda. After being given a prestigious rank by Brahma, he decided to perform a great yagna. He invited rishis, munis, devas and Brahmins to the yagna. On his arrival to the yagna mandap, all of these stood up in respect, except Brahma and Shankar. Prajapati became angry at the apparent disrespect and declared that Shankar will not be allowed to take part in the Yagna. Shankar's gate keeper, Nandi cursed all Brahmins that were there that their entire lineage will live in pity of others and will eat what others will give and will also be Demon-Brahmins. and hence many infants of Brahmins will become malicious in kaliyuga. But Kumhars were even then called Prajapatis and so there is no such curse given to this holy honest hardworking high system called Kumhar.Daksha also seem to be given same curse but Shiv purana tells that all Sons of Daksha were told Muki Marga and they become Mukta. This story of kumhars to be infants of only Prajapati Daksha seem to be false. But because prajapatis have surnames such as attris/bhardwaj/gautam/dhadhich etc., so they may be infants who did not study Vedas but worked hard so, those who studied Vedas, become Brahmins and who worked hard become Kumhars."

"According to a Hindu mythology, the first Kumbh (earthen pot) was a gift from the Gods. When the gods and the demons were churning the ocean for nectar, there was no vessel to collect the ambrosia. Some other Kumhar myths claim this to be their first creation. Another mythological story says that when Lord Shiva was about to marry Parvati, he realised he had forgotten the water pot integral for the ceremony. Therefore, he gave a part of his skin for clay to Prajapati, the god of creativity, to make a pot. And Parvati gave her blood to decorate the pot. That is when the first kumbh (earthen pot) was created and Prajapati became the first Kumhar (potter). In some temples in Rajasthan (such as Paner) & Himachal Pradesh, only a Kumhar can do the worship not the Brahmins.

"The Kumhars of Nabha claim descent from Brahma in the following lines

"Kumhars of Punjab and Haryana"

"The Hindu Kumhars of the south-east Punjab are divided into two main groups: Gola and Mahar; traditionally[18] Some Mahars in Jind claim to be the pure descendants of the sage Kuba (or Kubha) Bhagat. The Punjabi Kumhars have the following surnames (many of these surnames are also found among other castes): ,[19][20] Kumhar or Kumbhar (Punjabi: ਕà©à¨®à¨¹à¨¾à¨°, Urdu: کتعÛؕد),Hindi: कà¥à¥à¤®à¥à¤¹à¤¾à¤°; also known as Prajapati, is an caste or community of India, mainly belonging to the Hindu religion. The word "Kumhar" literally means "potter", making pottery being the traditional occupati...ons of the Kumhars since ancient times. In Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati languages, Kumbhar or Kumhar literally means a potter. Kumhars claim descent from Prajapatis, the sons of Lord Brahma, and hence are referred to as Prajapatis. There are also different stories about them being called Prajapati. The community is found throughout North India in the states of Punjab, Himachal,Bijnor District(Uttar Pradesh), Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, etc. The Kumhars or Kumbhars derive their name from the Sanskrit word Kumbhakar meaning earthen pot maker. They are also known as Kumbhar(Marathi)Prajapati, Prajapat, Kumhar, Ghumiyar, Ghumar, Kumbhkaar or Kumawat. Today, the Kumhar caste is mainly found in Pakistan and Punjab,Bijnor(U.P.) (India). Some Prajapatis/Kumhars trace the origin of their community to the beginning of civilization when the man started using utensils to prepare and eat food. They Kumhars consider themselves to be the starters of the world's first industry (pottery). According to a Hindu mythology, the first Kumbh (earthen pot) was a gift from the Gods. When the gods and the demons were churning the ocean for nectar, there was no vessel to collect the ambrosia. That is when Vishwakarma, the heavenly builder, picked up some earth and shaped it into a pot. Some other Kumhar myths claim this to be their first creation. Another mythological story says that when Lord Shiva was about to marry Parvati, he realised he had forgotten the water pot integral for the ceremony. Therefore, he gave a part of his skin for clay to Prajapati, the god of creativity, to make a pot. And Parvati gave her blood to decorate the pot. That is when the first kumbh (earthen pot) was created and Prajapati became the first Kumhar (potter). In some temples in Rajasthan, only a Kumhar can do the worship not the brahmins.

Now the days also they are in their traditional Pottery business and some are in agriculture. In Hissar there are four nondescript groups, the Bidawati, Magrochi, Nagori and Bhandia and others. All those appear to be really different tribes and not separate clans of one and the same tribe or caste. Other groups mentioned in accounts from this District are the Gola, Maru and Mula, all three distinct and will not intermarry. But the other accounts make the Gola the same as Maru and Bidwati identical with the Megrechi. Several of the Kumhar tribes have abandoned pottery and taken to agriculture as an occupation.
