Lachakas are a Hindu caste found mainly in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India. Their traditional occupation is that of farming, although many have now moved into other professions. The origin of the Lachaka caste is unclear, although they are believed to have originated in the Rajputana region of India. Some scholars believe that the Lachakas are descended from the Rajputs, while others believe that they are of mixed Rajput and tribal ancestry.
