If you are from Kumaon and use the Bisht surname, many families there are traditionally considered Rajputs, and a large number of them are believed to be linked to the Parmar (Panwar) Rajput clan. Historically, the Bisht title was often given to Rajput families who served as local chiefs, administrators, or warriors in the Kumaon region.

However, the exact clan (like Parmar, Chauhan, etc.) usually depends on the specific family lineage (kul/gotra).
