The Ujjainiya or Ujjainia (Hindi: उज्जैनिया) is a clan of Rajputs mainly found in Bihar and Purvanchal. They are an off-shoot of Paramara dynasty of Malwa. The Ujjainiya dynasty historically ruled over the parts of Bhojpuri region during the medieval era. They were mainly rulers and aristocrats holding major power of the region.[1]
The members of the clan held numbers of principalities during medieval and British Raj era and are considered to have played a prominent role in the political history of the Bhojpur region. Some of the most notable principalities are Dumraon and Jagdishpur.[2]
