Chandrachud

Chandrachud is a prominent Indian family who were nobles, ''sardars'', and ''jagirdars'' in Pune in the Maratha Empire. They belong to the Deshastha Rigvedi Brahmin community. Diwan Yashwant Gangadhar Chandrachud, a member of the family, held twenty-two villages as ''watan'', including Newasa Budruk as ''Jagirdar''. Chandrachud Wada, which still stands in Pune, was the seat of the Chandrachuds of the Maratha Empire until 1818, when the Maratha ''peshwas'' lost control to the British East India Company after the Third Anglo-Maratha War.
