This article is about the community of India. For the village, see Dhador.
Dhadhor (Dharhor) is a subdivision of the Yadav caste in India. They are a tribe of Ahirs in Banaras (Now Varanasi) and Gorakhpur divisions respectively. They are reckoned in the Tushreeh-ul-Akwam amongst the Doab Ahirs. The Dharhor Ahirs claim to have been the first settlers of the Senapur village of Jaunpur District, and it may be that they had the responsibility of protecting the original Thakur settlers. They are the second-most represented subcastes of Yadav in Purvanchal(Eastern region of Uttar Pradesh) after the Gwalvanshi subcaste.
