History & Formation
Most of the Audichchya Brahmins are located in Gujarat State. Their history of origin as Audichchya Brahmins can be traced from around the year 950 AD only. It was in the year 942 AD that Mulraj Solanki captured the throne of Anhilpur Patan after murdering his maternal uncle Samant Sinh Chawda, the then ruling king. In the olden days there were two crimes, considered the worst crimes. These crimes were (1) murdering a ruling king & (2) murdering a priest. In India the punishment and atonement for these crimes was self immolation by burning or by drowning.
So naturally Mulraj’s murdering the reigning king, even though it was rightly propagated as inevitable & most necessary, for saving the kingdom, by his supporters, found no takers from the kingdom’s Shrimali Brahmin priests. These priests had come to Gujarat along with the Chawada kings, from Shrimal/Bhinnmal situated in the southern part of present day state of Rajasthan. The Shrimali Brahmins were the official priests of the kingdom. Their function included Dharma & justice. They refused to give blessings to Mulraj and to annunciate him as the king. No amount of persuading, cajoling, coxing or threatening had any effect on those Brahmins. If the priests coroneted him as a king, Mulraj was ready to perform a Rudra Yagna and also to build Rudramahal, a huge temple of Rudra (Shiv) as atonement. But the priests would not budge.
It was also important for Mulraj to be coroneted as a king since, if the throne was left vacant for a long time there would be a chaos. Several Chawdas had already started pressing their claim to the throne. The enemies of the kingdom on the border had started preparations for conquest of Gujarat. An immediate action was needed if the kingdom was to be retained. But the Shrimali priests, even after explaining the circumstances, were practically unanimous in not accepting Mulraj’s reasons and credentials. Mulraj had to find another way to overcome this situation.
Mulraj & his minister Madhav came upon a brilliant idea. Chawda kings had come from Shrimal & their priests were Shrimali Brahmins. Mulraj was from Kanyakubja (Kanoj) located in the fertile lands of Ganga & Yamuna rivers, so if priests from that area could be persuaded to come and enthrone Mulraj as a king, perform Rudra Yagna and stay in Gujarat as the kingdom’s priests, two birds could be killed with a single stone. First Mulraj would now be a legitimate king and secondly the influence of Shrimali Brahmins would be curtailed and even nullified. It was decided to import and lure learned & intelligent Brahmin families in large numbers, offering them land and positions as the official kingdom priests. They immediately set to work. Several ministers under the leadership of Madhav were sent to the various important cities and areas in plains of rivers Ganga & Yamuna where there were educated & prominent Brahmins who could be persuaded to come to Gujarat for permanent settlement. To avoid a conspiracy, they also ensured that Brahmins came from different places and not from a single place.
When this big caravan of 1037 Brahmin families reached Siddhpur Patan, they were royally received by the king and his people. In India in those days, gradually Brahmins had started being known by the place of their stay or origin, and not by the Gotras as in the past. So this big group of Brahmins consisting of various Gotras was officially named Auduchchya Brahmins. In Sanskrit, Audichchya means from the northern direction. The list of Gotras, place of origin and places donated to Brahmin families by King Mulraj Solanki after their arrival at Shri Sthal, subsequently known as Siddhpur Patan, is as under.
Number of families Place of original stay of families Places donated Gotra
- 105 Planes of rivers Ganga & Yamuna From Sihore & Siddhpur areas: Jamdagni, Vatsas, Bhargav(Bhrugu), Droan Dalabhya, Mandavya, Maunash, Gangayan, Shankruti, Paulatsya, Vashstha, Upmanu,
- 100 Chuvan Ashram Total Udvahak, Parashar, Laudhkshi, Kashyap,
- 100 Sarau river planes Two Bhardwaj, Kaudinya,Garg, Vishvamitra,
- 100 Kanyakubja Hundred Kaushik, Indrakaushik, Shantatap, Atri,
- 100 Hardwar area And Audalak, Krushnaatri, Shwetaatri, Chandraatri
- 100 Naimasharanya Seventy Atrikahshik, Gautam, Autathya, Krutsas, Aangirash,
- 200 Kurukshetra Four Shandilya, Gaubhil, Piplad, Agatsya,
- 132 Pushkar area villages (Agatsya,Mahendra) Not in Audichchyas
On arrival at Siddhpur Patan, they were visited by Shrimali Brahmins (Ex Rajya Gurus) who explained their reason for boycotting Mulraj’s coronation. Out of 1037 families, 37 families saw the truth in the reasoning of the Shrimali Brahmins and decided not to participate in the king’s plans. They went in a group and intimated their decision & reason to Mulraj. Since they went about in a Group they were known as Tolakiya Audichchya Brahmins. The rest came to be known as Audichchya Sahasra Brahmins, since they were 1000 in numbers.
It might appear that only greed dominated these 1000 Brahmin families but on the other side i.e. King Mulraj Solanki’s view, explained to Brahmins, and should also not be over looked. A strong kingdom was imperative to maintain & stabilize Dharma and civilization as well as trade & prosperity of the nation. It is a well known fact that under slavery, Dharma, civilization, prosperity decline, making the nation poor and a laughing stock. History proved this to be true as the Solanki kingdom flourished for nearly three hundred years. Gujarat was the last and well fought bastion of Hindu kings, to fall against the Islamic onslaught of India in 1297. With the conquest by Delhi Islamic hordes, the prosperity not only of Solankies & Audichchya Brahmins but of entire Gujarat was lost.
Perhaps it will not be out of place at this juncture to explain the word Gotra which has been predominantly used in the above history of Audichcya Brahmins. Veda is considered to be the oldest known treaty about religion. Hindu religion believes that even though the eternal truth is one, there are many ways in which it can be interpreted. Since time immemorial, Seven Rushis have put up their interpreted version and understanding about Vedas. The name of these Rushis is Jamdagni, Gautam, Atri, Vishvamitra, Vashistha, and Bharadwaj & Kasyap. They are known as Saptrashis. Agatsya the eighth Rushi is also accepted as a Rushi who have contributed in understanding of Vedas. Each Rushi had his version of Vedas, their meaning, rituals about mode of achieving knowledge about the ultimate peace (Nirvan) and God, sholkas (hymns) for praising Supreme Being etc. The groups of followers of each Rushi’s methodology are known by that Gotra which is normally in the name of that Rushi and or his important disciples. This definitely tends to narrow down horizons of knowledge of followers. It also has a tendency to create disruption and disagreements even disturbances among people as each sect starts propagating that theirs is the only correct way to achieve God. In order to avoid such circumstances a simple method was devised. It was forbidden to marry in the same Gotra. The bride & groom had to be from different Gotras. One might wonder how this would help, but it is simplicity and ingenuity at its best. In the Vedic times boys & girls both had to undergo compulsory education. Marriages took place at a ripe age of around 18 for female & 20 for male members. Girls are more adaptive by nature so they along with the education would have known and understood rituals as well as knowledge of parent’s Gotra. Now when she gets married into another Gotra she carries her knowledge and understands the reasoning & learning of both the Gotras. The offspring gets the benefit both, from paternal as well as maternal Gotras, improving his horizon. Normally a house might have two or three brothers married into different Gotras. In such a case all cousins are greatly benefited due to interaction and continuous discussions about Vedas.
Foundation of Audichya Brahma Samaj in Gujarat
Around Vikram Samvat 1353 the army of Allaudin Khilji committed aggression on Gujarat and destroyed Rudramahalaya and the city of patan. The audichya Brahmins of that region migrated to place like kadi chanasma, karnavati li.e. the Dandhavga region. They settled in the kingdom of ashawal thakur.
After the decline and destruction of patan and khambat, the present city of Ahmedabad was founded in vikram samvat 1467 or 1411 A.D. It slowly developed as a trade center.
Being attracted by its glory some audichya Brahmins families left the kingdom of ashawal and settled in Ahmedabad in vikram samvat 1526 or 1470 A. D. Due to their some customs they became to be known as ashapara Brahmins.
Audichya Brahmins belonging to the siddhapur branch also settled in Ahmedabad with the hope of getting means of —. They came from different places like Siddhapur, Unjha, Dethali, Brahmanwada, Varwada, Kanoda, Ambasana, Kukaruada, Bokarwada, Pushpadara, Mandal, Chandubhan, Viramgam, Dholka, Kheda, Mahemadabad. Etc.
Beside, audichya Brahmins belonging to shihor branch also came to and settled in Ahmedabad. They came from places like shihor, Bagasthal, Vala Himdi, Halvad, Dhol, etc
Initialy, all these audichya Brahmins lived in 36-Aubusbs of Ahmedabad, but by the end of the 18th century the audichya Brahmins of the siddhapur branch settled in 27-Aubusbs of the city.
During siddharaj’s time the descendants of the Brahmins of the sihore branch had migrated and settled in ashapur . Present asarwas.
At that time an attempt was made to establish one caste of audichya Brahmins in coopration with the new settlers and the old settlers.
The old settlers believes that they were higher in status than the other audichya Brahmins. So they described themselves, not as audichya Brahmins but as ashapuri Brahmins. Today they are completely obliterated.
In 1803-04 there were about 1700 households of audichya Brahmins in the city. At that time an idea was mooted to establish an organization of all audichya Brahmins living in and around the city Shri Surjibhai and Shri Mavjibhai jani brothers organized an unofficial conference and a committee of jani, dave, shukla, mehta, surname caste member.
First Shri Surjibhai and Shri Mavjibhai gave caste feasts to all the 1700 households. They also gave gifts i.e. lhana of utensils. This was the beginning of the audichya sahasra Brahman in Ahmedabad.
There after , all the remaining 25 members also emulated their love for the caste and every one f them gave caste feast and gifts.
These 27 members were recognized as the leader of the caste and they became to be known as tadavis.
The leadership role of tadvis was exemplified when there was a caste feast. All the caste members of a particular locality or suburb assembled at one place and they are preceded trend his guidance in the light of torch to other place or suburb where the caste feast was arranged.
During the region of gaekwads in the city other 500 audichya families from outside had settled in the city. They settled their tadvi and entered in the caste. In 1810-12 the case households reached to 2200.
The tadvis started the practice of admitting new audichya Brahmins into the caste on payment of Rs. 25 as hansal ( i.e. entry fee ) and a caste feast. They were to vouchsafe the character, virtues and merits of the new entrant member.
This expanded caste of 2200 households acquired good status in other Brahmin caste of the city.
Very good. You r really giving information thro’ multi-media which was forget or not really in memory is now flikering in mind. U r the awaken of new generation who does not have idea of his own. Marvellous history presented is appreciated. Thanks. U have to work as Surjibhai or Maavjibhai now. Right?
Thanks for putting this article together and sharing your information / views on internet. Some previous web articles have said that it was king Siddhraj who brought 1000+ brahmin families in the year 1000AD from different parts of Uttar Pradesh. Also in year 1000 Siddhpur Patan was world’s 10th largest city. So it is very unlikely that some Brahmin families would get attracted to Amdavad’s glory and migrate out of such a vibrant city in Siddhraj’s time asindicated in this article.
Please take this as constructive comments. We all are striving for the truth which is very hard to uncover after these many centuries.

For Prayashchit-pastavo-repentance of the murder, he built sahasraling talav to perform simultenious rituals-sthapana puja-of 1000 shivling by the hands of 1000 brahmins he invited from Udich Prant.”
Sahasraling talav near Ranki Vav and Modhera Suryamandir is worh seeing site by every brahmins of Gujarat.

ajay vyas
very good artical
Boss, I salute your dedicated work………well done n keep it up .
Excellent job for putting this kind of in-depth informative article.
I admire your knowledge and thank you for unearthing some of the information being told to me since I was kid.
Though, my surname is Acharya, I am told that I am a Audichya Sahastra Brahmins and from Himalaya region.
Don’t know if it is true.
I love to see if we can form some kind of online group where we all can share our information and be knowledge about who we are and where we come from.
Any thoughts: my email address is : rashmikant@gmail.com
FYI,
My gotra is Kasyap and kuldevi is Saktambika mata near siddhapur (not 100% sure)
This is very good history lesson for Audichya Sahastra Brahmins.
After the invasion by Allauddin Kilji’s army and defeat of Solanki’s, Audichyas moved south towards Viramgam and Saurashtra,most of them worshiped Varahi Mata at Chansma as Kuldevi, if you visit Varahi Mata mandir {also kown as VERAI mata} besides main Bhavani mata statue astride lion, there is another Murti with cut off hand [probably by the invading army of Khilji ] some of us who are searching for KULDEVI , most of the Brahmins were Shakti pujaks and worshiped Bhavani Mata as Kuldevi, apart from Varahi mata of Chansma , Bahucharaji and Amabaji were worshiped as Kuldevi,Brahmans can worship all the sixty four forms of Shakti as Kuldevi.
Very informative..i was informed by uncle that we are sahastra audhichya brahmin originally from Gujrat and we were invited by the king of thanesar in Haryana for a yagna and then settled here.
he also shared an important fact about us is that we are originally from Kerala.
I am bit confused can you please put some light on the topic.
We are vaishnav brahmins and bhardwaj gotra.
thanks in advance,

I heard that Audichya Sahasra Brahmins came in one group of 1000 from Kashmir invited by Siddhraj Jaysinh. Another group that followed was known as Tolakiya. Tolakiyas settled in Saurastra. A third group was told to change direction. They were known as Dishawal. The place where they changed direction is known as Deesaa now. In another internet article, I read that Audichya stands for a region in central Asia. This article gives third source. It is very interesting. I am audichya Sahasra with Gautam Gotra and Kauthmi Shakha. In my family, my grandfather’s great grand father Raghuram was given a village in Prantij Taluka by a Gujarat King and destroyed later by Muslims and hence known as Ujedia (Ujjad or deseted place). Some archiological work is needed there to find its original name. Similarly, When Avanti was destroyed, it was known as Ujjain – meaning (Ujjad) deserted place.
Dear Nayan Rawal.
Thnx 4 your kind considerations.good 2 know your affections & eagerness for rawal surnamed brahmin history.
Basically the surname was titled by raja-maharajas
to those capable brahmins who can enrole themselves as head of priests,can perform as justice,rajpurohits,diwans and as land lord of some villages for smoother ruling of their states.
mashaliya rawals :
rajpurohits of rana’s,zala’s,makhwa’s,makwana’s etc.
(amongst so many types of rawals,Mashaliyarawal,gotra bhardwaj,kuldevi-vighnahari adhiya shakti ) as per history rawals migrated from northern area of india from where they were bought to different area for religious work to punjab,hariyana,rajasthan,gujarat etc.

Dear Sanjay Jani,
presuming that u are a gujarati speaking brahmin,there are 2 possibilities either u are an Ambasana jani or a kanodia jani..if Ambasana then ur Kuldevi is Annapurna mataji somewhere near siddhpur itself I reckon,don’t know the perfect location but if u r Kanodiya Jani like myself…then ur Kuldevi is Bahusmarna Mataji(Gayatri Mata),the temple is located in Kanoda village around 17 kms on the right road off the Mehsana-Modhera highway…Jai mataji,Jai Mahadev..:)
extreamely touched. I thak from the depth of my heart for the effort that sir has made by giving this preciouse article. I am kamlesh joshi ( ISHAMALIYA JOSHI) GARSASHYA GOTRA. BUT i DONT KNOW OUR KULDEVI. SO ITS HUMBLE REQUEST TO ONE AND ALL ASOCIATED WITH OUR COMUNITY PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANKS LOT. JAY MAHADEV
Good news Sunil Jani its actually Bahusmarna mataji only…bcoz only Upamanyu Gotra Janis worship her as Kuldevi and its bcoz of different Gotras that Ambasana Janis and Kanodia Janis can Marry each other inspite of having same surname.just found out…:)

Dear ASHKA RAVAL,
I think it’s not any differece between ‘V’ & ‘W’ its only spelling problem mean you can write v or w whatever you want. As my openion Tapodhan Brahmin, paliwal Brahmin etc. all r belongs to Audichya Brahmin. so Its enough that your surname is Rawal & your Gotra is also Brahmin. I am Masaliya Rawal and My root is Belong to Dharangdhara mainly so cont. to me to know more abt each other on my mail ID or ph.

પૂર્વ ભૂમિકા : ઇ.સ. ના નવમા સૈકામા ગુજરાતમા પાટણની ગાદી ઉપર મહાપ્રતાપી મુળરાજ સોલંકી નામનો રાજા થઇ ગયો તે અપુત્ર હોઇ પુત્ર પ્રાપ્તિ માટે તેના કુળ ગુરૂની સુચના મુજબ તેણે મહાયજ્ઞ કરવાનુ નક્કી કર્યુ અને આ કાર્ય માટે તેને (1000) એક હજાર વિદ્વાન બ્રાહ્મણોની જરૂર પડી. જે ગુજરાતમા ઉપલબ્ધ ન હોઇ તેણે હાલના ઉત્તર પ્રદેશના કાશી, મથુરા, વૃન્દાવન વગેરે સ્થળોએથી બ્રાહ્મણોને તેડાવ્યા આ બ્રાહ્મણોએ ગુજરાત આવી મુળરાજને યજ્ઞ કરાવી આપ્યો, અને વેદોક્ત વિધિ અનુસાર પાટણમા સહસ્ત્રલિંગ તળાવનુ નિર્માણ પણ કરી આપ્યુ, કામ પુરૂ થયે આ બ્રાહ્મણો પોતાના વતન જવા તૈયાર થયા ત્યારે મહાપ્રતાપી મુળરાજે તેઓ બધાને અહીં રોકાઇ જવા વિંનતી કરી મુળરાજ સોલંકીએ દરેક બ્રાહ્મણને એક એક ગામ દક્ષિણામા આપ્યુ, જે પૈકી મોટા ભાગના બ્રાહ્મણો અહી રોકાઇ ગયા. તે જુદી જુદી ઉત્તરપ્રદેશની શાખ(અટક) ધરાવતા ઔદિચ્ય બ્રાહ્મણો હતા. અહી એક સહસ્ત્ર બ્રાહ્મણો આવ્યા એટલે ઔદિચ્ય સહસ્ત્ર કહેવાયા. તેમની અટક શુક્લ, જાની, ઉપાધ્યાય, પંડયા વગેરે હતી. પરંતુ અહી ગુજરાતમા તેમને જે જે દાનમા મળ્યા તે ગામના નામ ઉપરથી તેમની અટક ત્યારથી ગણાઇ. દા.ત. માંડલ ગામ ઉપરથી માંડલીયા રાવલ, કનોડીયા ગામ ઉપરથી કનોડીયા જાની, એ મુજબ આપણા પરિવારના મુળ પુરૂષને મશાલી ગામ જે સિધ્ધપુરથી ઉત્તરે ત્રીસએક ગાઉ દુર છે. તે મશાલી ગામના નામ ઉપરથી તેમની અટક મશાલીયા રાખવામા આવી. ઇ.સ. 1024 મા જ્યારે મહમદ ગઝનીએ સોમનાથ મંદિર પર આક્રમણ કર્યુ, ત્યારે ગુજરાતમા સોલંકી વંશ “ભોળો ભીમ “ નામે રાજા રાજ કરતો હતો. સોમનાથનુ રક્ષણ કરવા માટે આ રાજાએ કચ્છ, સૌરાષ્ટ્ર અને ગુજરાતના તમામ રાજાઓને વિનંતિ કરેલ, ત્યારે કચ્છમાથી (કિર્તીકોટ) કંથ કોટના રાજા કેશવદેવ મકવાણાએ આ કાર્યમા મદદ કરેલી એ કેશવદેવ મકવાણાના મહાપ્રતાપી પુત્ર હરપાળ મકવાણા કે જેઓને ઇતિહાસ ભગવી શિવના અંશવાતાર સમાન ગણે છે. તે હરપાળ દેવ મહામાયા આદ્યશક્તિના પરમ ઉપાસક હતા. બ્રહ્મા, વિષ્ણુ, મહેશ આદિ દેવતાઓએ મણિદ્વિપ (ભારત) મા પ્રસ્થાપીત કરેલ આ મહાદેવના પરમ ભક્ત હરપાળ દેવના સમયમા પાટણની ગાદી ઉપર કરણ વાઘેલા નામનો રાજા રાજ કરતો હતો. આ કરણની રાણી ફુલાદેવીને અને કરણના સમગ્ર રાજ્યને બાબરા જાતીનો યવન અથવા ( બાબરો ભૂત ) હેરાન પરેશાન કરતો હતો. હરપાળ દેવ મહા પરક્રમી હોઇ કરણ રાજાએ બાબરાને વશ કરવા માટે હરપાળ દેવની મદદ માંગી. હરપાળ દેવે પાટણ જઇ રાત્રીના મધ્ય ભાગે દેવી શક્તિની આરાધના કરી. આ બાબરાને વશ કર્યો. હરપાળ દેવનુ બીજાઓને મદદ કરવાનુ મનોબળ જોઇ આદ્યશક્તિએ હરપાળ દેવને વચન માંગવાનુ કહેલ ત્યારે હરપાળ દેવે શક્તિને કહ્યુ કે મને તમે શક્તિ પુત્ર આપો. માતાજીએ કહેલ કે એ કઇ રીતે શક્ય બની શકે. તમે તો મારા પુત્ર સમાન છો. છતા હરપાળ દેવ મક્કમ રહ્યા. એટલે શક્તિએ કહેલ કે હાલ રાજસ્થાનમા પ્રતાપસિંહ સોલંકીની દિકરી જેનુ નામ શક્તિ છે. તે મારો અંશાવતાર છે. તેની સાથે લગ્ન કર. આદ્યશક્તિએ એ વખતે હરપાળ દેવ ઉપર એટલા પ્રસન્ન હતા. કે બીજુ વરદાન માંગવા કહ્યુ. હરપાળ દેવે કહેલ કે બીજુ વરદાન હુ કરણના દરબારમા જઇને આવુ પછી માંગીશ. હરપાળ દેવ કરણના દરબારમા ગયા. એટલે કરણ ખુબ જ પ્રસન્ન થયેલ હતો. અને હરપાળ દેવને વચન માંગવા કહેલ હરપાળ દેવે કહ્યુ કે એક રાતમા હુ જેટલા ગામને તોરણ બાંધુ તેટલા ગામ મને બક્ષિસમા આપવા. કરણને એમ કે બહુ બહુ તો એક રાતમા પાંચ સાત ગામને તોરણ બાંધી શકશે. એટલે તેણે વરદાન આપ્યુ. અહી હરપાળ દેવ એક જ રાતમા 2300 ગામને તોરણ બાંધ્યા. સૌથી પહેલુ તોરણ પાટડી ગામને બાંધ્યુ અને સૌથી છેલ્લુ તોરણ દીઘડીયા (હળવદ તાલુકો ) ગામને બાંધ્યુ. કરણને ઉભા રહેવાની જગ્યા ન રહી. કરણને મુઝાયેલો જોઇ હરપાળદેવે કરણની રાણી ફુલાદેવીને બહેન ગણી પાંચસો ગામ ભાલ પ્રદેશના કાપડામા આપ્યા અને બાકીના 1800 ગામ ઝાલાવાડ પ્રાંત કહેવાયો.
બીજી તરફ રાજસ્થાનના સોલંકી રાજા પ્રતાપસિંહની પુત્રી જેનુ નામ શક્તિ છે તે રાજાને સ્વપ્નમા તેમની પુત્રીના લગ્ન હરપાળ દેવ સાથે કરવાનુ માતાજીએ કહેલ. તે પ્રમાણે તેમના બન્નેના લગ્ન પ્રતાપસિંહ સોલંકીએ કરવાનો નિશ્ચય કર્યો. અને મશાલીયા રાવલ શાખાના મહાજ્ઞાની બિંદેશ્વર રાવલ કે જેઓ દરબારમા યોગાનુયોગ પ્રતાપસિંહને ત્યા આવ્યા. મહા પ્રતાપી પ્રતાપસિંહને બિંદેશ્વર મહારાજને સ્વપ્નની વાત કરી અને હરપાળ દેવ અને શક્તિના લગ્ન ગોઠવાયા. બિંદેશ્વર રાવલે લગ્ન કરી આપ્યા.
લગ્ન વિધિ પુરી થઇ ગયા બાદ દેવી શક્તિએ લગ્ન કરી આપનાર પુરોહિત બિંદેશ્વરને કહ્યુ કે મહારાજ માંગો. ત્યારે બિંદેશ્વર રાવલે કહ્યુ કે આ સાક્ષાત મહામાયા મારી સન્મુખ ઉભા છો. ત્યારે મારે કાંઇ જ માંગવાનુ નથી. પરંતુ મારા વંશ પરંપરાગત કુળદેવી બનો અને મારા વારસોનુ રક્ષણ કરો. દેવી કહેલ કે હુ આદ્યશક્તિ છુ. હરપાળ દેવથી વિસમી પેઢીએ કાઠીયાવાડમા કવા નગરમા ભીમસિંહ નામનો રાજા રાજ કરશે. આ ભીમસિંહના પુત્ર વાઘોજી જે યવનો સાથે લડાઇ થશે તે કુવાનગરે વાઘોજીની સાત પત્નીઓ કુવામા પડી સતી થશે. એ ગામે મહારાજ તમારા વંશના વીસમા પુરૂષ નામે કરશનજી રાવલ થશે તે ત્યા કુવા ગામે મારૂ મંદિર બનાવી મારી પુજા કરશે. ત્યારથી ઉત્તરોત્તર તમારી વંશવૃધ્ધિ થશે અને તમારા વંશજો કુવાગામે મને કુળ દેવી તરીકે પ્રસ્થાપીત કરી મારી પુજા કરશે. આ તરફ હરપાળ દેવ એક વખત કાર્ય પ્રસંગે બહાર ગામ ગયેલા અને પાટડી રાજ મહેલ પાસે મુગલ નામનો હાથી ગાંડો થઇ હાહાકાર મચાવી માણસોને મારી રઝાળતો હતો. ત્યા દેવી શક્તિના બે પુત્રો સોયાજી અને માંગુજી અને એક ચારણ પુત્ર મેદાનમા રમતા હતા. ત્યા રાજ મહેલના ચોગાનમા આ ગાંડો હાથી આવી ચઢ્યો માતા શક્તિએ ઝરૂખામાથી આ દ્ર્શ્ય જોયુને બન્ને કુંવરને હાથ લંબાવી ઝાલી લીધા અને ચારણ પુત્રને ટપલી મારી તેના ઘરે ફ્ંગોળ્યો ત્યારથી હરપાળ દેવના વંશજો હાથ લાંબો કરી ઝાલી લીધા હોવાથી ‘ઝાલા” કહેવાયા. અને બિંદેશ્વર રાવલના વંશ વારસોના આ ઝાલાઓ યજમાન બન્યા. રાવલ પરિવાર ત્યારથી તેમના કુળગોર બન્યા.
ઇ.સ. 15 મા સૈકામા ઇ.સ. 1492 મા આસપાસ હરપાળ દેવથી 21 મી પેઢીએ કુવાગામે વાઘોજી ઝાલા રાજ કરતા હતા. તેઓને ખુબ જ ધર્માંધ અને ઝનુની મહંમદ બેગડા સાથે કુવાગામે લડાઇ થઇ. લડાઇ ચાલુ હતી છતા શક્તિમાતાના નિશાનવાળો ધ્વજ ધ્વજરક્ષકે તેને તરસ લાગવાથી પાણી પીવા નીચે મુક્યો આ તરફ મહેલમા ધ્વજ નહી દેખાવાથી સંકેત મુજબ રાણીઓને ફાળ પડી કે નક્કી લડાઇમા વાઘોજી મરાયા એટલે સાતે સાત રાણીઓ મુસલમાનોને ક્બ્જે ન થવા માટે રાજમહેલમા આવેલ કુવામા પડી સતી થઇ. ત્યારથી આ બનાવને “કુવાનો કેર “ કહેવાયો. અને ગામનુ નામ કુવા મટી કંકાવટી પાડવામા આવ્યુ. વાઘોજીના વખતનો એક દુહો ચારણે ગાયેલ છે. કે વાઘોજી “તારૂ દિઘડીયુ દિલ્લી સરીખડુ કુવા કાશ્મીર પણ વાઘો બેગડો સરીખડા અને કાંઇક ફૌજમા ફેર” આ રીતે કુવા હાલના કંકાવટી ગામે બિંદેશ્વર રાવલના વંશજ કરશનજી રાવલના સુપુત્રો 1. દામોદરજી રાવલ 2. હરિકૃષ્ણ રાવલ 3. રણછોડ રાવલ આ ત્રણેય પુત્રો કંકાવટી ગામે રહેતા હતા. હાલના મશાલીયા રાવલના આ ત્રણેય મહાપુરૂષો પુર્વજો છે.

Dear All,
It’s a great initiative from Mr.Vibhanshubhai. Kudos to him. It has generated lot of interest among community members. Many of them have got answers about their kuldevis which would not have been possible without a trigger like this.
I am a Tapodhan brahmin(Bhardwaj gotra} and from a a small village called Gandhari in Virpur Taluka of kheda district in state of Gujarat. Currently we are living in Nagpur(Maharashtra). Our original surname is Raval which my grandfather used to write and the same is shown in Govt. records. It was changed to Sevak because we offer ‘Seva’ to Lord Shiva and hence Sevak.
According to my grand mother, 6-7 generaations back, we have migrated from Medhasan in Megharaj taluka in Sabarkantha district of Gujarat.
I will be be thankful if some body can help us know about our Kuldevi
for many generat
Hello,
I married to Tapodhan brahim and his gotra is Bhardwaj, Bahuchara Devi is our Kuldevi.
I hope this helps.
Dear Brijesh,

Dear Vibhanshu and all friends of Audichya Sahastra Brahmin community,
Jay Mahadev
First of all congratulations and many thnaks to Vibhanshu. Thanks to his efforts, we all have received such important infromation about our roots. It is a human nature to find own roots, and going thru many comments above, its necessary to have a forum, where we can get all such information like roots, gotra, kuldevi, any organisation/Sanstha where we can get all such information which can be passed on to our children and future generations.
Any suggestions/answer on this are appreciated.

Brahmin (Brāhmaṇa, ब्राह्मणः) is the class of educators, law makers, scholars and preachers of Dharma in Hinduism. It is said to occupy the highest position among the four varnas of Hinduism.
The English word brahmin is an anglicised form of the Sanskrit word Brāhmana (Brāhman also refers to a mystical concept in Hinduism). Brahmins are also called Vipra “inspired”,or Dvija “twice-born”.
It is a misconception that brahmins are only priests. Only a subsect of brahmins were involved in the priestly duties.
They also took up various other professions since late vedic ages like doctors, warriors, writers, poets, land owners, ministers, etc. Some parts of India were also ruled by Brahmin Kings.
History
The history of the Brahmin community in India begins with the Vedic religion of early Hinduism, now often referred to by Hindus as Sanatana Dharma. The Vedas are the primary source of knowledge for brahmin practices. Most sampradayas of Brahmins take inspiration from the Vedas. According to orthodox Hindu tradition, the Vedas are apauruṣeya and anādi (beginning-less), but are revealed truths of eternal validity. The Vedas are considered Śruti (that which is heard) and are the paramount source of Brahmin traditions. Shruti includes not only the four Vedas (the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda), but also their respective Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads.
Brahman and Brahmin (brahman, brahmán, masculine) are not the same. Brahman (bráhman, neuter), since the Upanishads, refers to the Supreme Self. Brahmin or Brahmana (brahmán, brāhmaṇa) refers to an individual. Additionally, the word Brahma (brahmā, masculine) refers to first of the gods
Brahmin communities
The Brahmin castes may be broadly divided into two regional groups: Pancha-Gauda Brahmins from Northern India and considered as Aryans and Pancha-Dravida Brahmins from Southern India considered as Dravidian as per the shloka, however this sloka is from Rajatarangini of Kalhana which is composed only in 11th CE and many communities find their traces from sages mentioned in, much older Vedas and puranas.
कर्णाटकाश्च तैलंगा द्राविडा महाराष्ट्रकाः,
गुर्जराश्चेति पञ्चैव द्राविडा विन्ध्यदक्षिणे ||
सारस्वताः कान्यकुब्जा गौडा उत्कलमैथिलाः,
पन्चगौडा इति ख्याता विन्ध्स्योत्तरवासि ||
Translation: Karnataka (Kannada), Telugu (Andhra), Dravida (Tamil and Kerala), Maharashtra and Gujarat are Five Southern (Panch Dravida). Saraswata, Kanyakubja, Gauda, Utkala (Orissa), Maithili are Five Northern (Pancha Gauda). This classification occurs in Rajatarangini of Kalhana and is mentioned by Jogendra Nath Bhattacharya in “Hindu Castes and Sects.”
Want to know our kuldevi we are Audichya Sahastra Jalawadi Brahmins gotra bharadwaj surname Pandya. Our family was from Junagad as per their knowledge our kuldevi is Navdurga but want to confirm. Thank you.
Hi mansi ones you make progress let me know mannay thanks
Thank u for provid such information! I m feeling so much proud that Dr.Umedaram Lalbhai Desai is my great grandfather ! and photograph on wiki pedia is given by me,information is given by me, my cousin & my auntie .we are proud on to be BRAHMINS!
Dave means Dveevedi. (द्वीवेदी). Dave-s are Audichya Brahmins who were at top most of the list in seniority list prescribed by the Mahant of Ganesh Temple of Banaras, provided they are Bhargava.
Kuldevi Depends upon the Gotra and Shakha. Those who are Dave and Bhargava Kuldevi is Ashapura (not Asha-Puri). Ashapura is a single Devi. Asha-Pura are two sisters. Our Shiva is Nilkantha. And Ganesh is EkaDanta.
We are ” Shihor Sampradaay Audichya Agiyarso ” Brahmin from Bhavnagar district in Gujarat. Our Gotra is Bhardwaaj. We are unaware about who our KULDEVI is. I request to ALL to please provide me information or a lead or link which can help me to find our Kuldevi. -Jai Bholenath.

If you are Mandalia, it means the village land donated was in Mandal. But this information is not enough. Some of the Brahmins in Mandal had other Gotra also. Hence the “Pravar” is also needed. Some Mandalia Brahmins are Yajurvedi and with Kutsas Gotra. Their Devi is Durga.

Bharadwaja, also spelled Bharadwaaj (Sanskrit: भारद्वाज, IAST: Bhāradvāja, Telugu: భరద్వాజ), was one of the greatest Hindu sages (Maharṣis) descendant of Sage (Ṛṣi) Aṅgirasā, whose accomplishments are detailed in the Purāṇas. He is one of the Saptaṛṣis (Seven Great Sages or Rishis) in the present Manvantara; with others being Atri, Vasiṣṭha, Viswamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Kaśyapa.[1]
Bharadvāja Bārhaspatya is the progenitor of the Bhāradvāja family and the family is attributed as the composers of Sixth Maṇḍala of the Ṛgveda. Maṇḍala 6 is known as the Bhāradvāja Family Book as all its 75 hymns are composed by members of this family over several centuries.[2] He is believed to be a contemporary of King Bhārata. Maharṣi Bharadvāja and his descendants were respected and powerful priests-like ṛṣi of several clans/dynasties of the Puru tribe, such as the Bhāratas and the Pañcālas.
Sage Bharadvāja was a sage of the Vedic times. He attained extraordinary scholarship. He had the great power of meditation.[3] His Āśrama still exists at the holy Prayag (Allahabad).
Bharadwaja was also the father of Guru Droṇācārya and grandfather of Aśvatthāma from the epic Mahābhārata. His grandson rishi Aśvatthāma or otherwise called Drauni, will become one of the Saptarishi in next Manvantara.[4] Bhardvāja or Bharadwaja is one of the most exalted gotras (family lineages) of the Brahmin caste. Brahmins with Bharadwaja gotra use Bharadwaja as their Lastname.
Maharṣi Bharadvāja was the son of Devarṣi Bṛhaspati. Devarṣi Bṛhaspati was the son of Maharṣi Aṅgirasa. Angiras was the son of Brahma and Brahma came from Vishnu. These 3 Ṛṣi are called the Traya Ṛṣi, meaning The Three Ṛṣis of the Bharadvāja Gotra. Guru Droṇācārya, the royal guru to Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas in the epic Mahābhārata was the son of sage Bharadvāja. He was a master of advanced military arts, including the Devāstras. Among all the seven gotras Bharadvāja is the largest chain. Bharadvāja gotra has more than 1400 branches.
He married Sushila and had a son called Garga.
His son Dronacharya was born as a result of his attraction to an Apsara Ghritachi. He trained Drona in use of weapons. Drona also learnt the use of weapons from Agnivesha, Agastya’s student and from Parasurama himself. Drona then went on to teach the weaponry to the Kauravas and Pandavas. Drona has a son called Ashwatthama who was an avatar of Lord Siva. Both Drona and Ashwatthama are Maharathas who fought on Kaurava side on Mahabharata war,in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.[5]
Bharadwaja had a daughter called Devavarnini. Yajnavalkya, the author of the Satapatha Brahmana was a descendant of Bharadwaja.The second wife of Yajnavalkya Katyayani, was the daughter of Bharadwaja.[6]
His achievements and contributions: Bharadwaja’s Vedic mantras were placed in the sixth Mandala of the Rig Veda by Veda Vyasa Dharmasutra and Srautasutra were written by Bharadwaja. The manuscript of the latter was in Pandu script and is available with the Vishvavidyalaya of Mumbai. He was a master of the scriptures and Vedas. He was a renowned Sanskrit grammarian. As per the Rktantra, pratisakhya of the samaveda, Brahma taught grammar to Brhaspati who in turn taught it to Bharadwaja. Panini, Rkpratisakhya and Taittiriya have quoted and discussed Bharadwaja on grammar.
Kautilya (Chanakya) has quoted Bharadwaja on politics in his treatise Kautilya Arthashastra. Dhvanta Pramapaka Yantra : Spectromer of Bharadwaja Maharshi. Chanakya quotes Bharadwaja in the Kautilya Arthashastra
He had an unquenchable thirst for the knowledge of the Vedas and in addition to his studies, meditated on Indra for long life for more knowledge. He also meditated upon Siva and Parvathi for more Vedic knowledge. He was a first hand witness to the incident of the Krauncha birds, where Valmiki uttered his first sloka. He was egoless. He spent a major part of his life spreading Vedic knowledge as per a command of Indra’s.
In Rāmāyaṇa, Śrī Rāma along with Sita and Lakṣmaṇa went on exile on own for the maintaining the dharma/words of his father. Rama along with them went through many forest regions starting from crossing Ganga river with help of Guhan, head clansman and a friend of Rama’s father Daśaratha. As he traveled he visited many Rishi’s Ashrams and met many rishis and sages including Agastya, Gautama and Bharadvāja. Śrī Rāma and others rested in Bharadvāja’s āśrama when they were crossing Prayag and accepted his offerings as great sages knew that Śrī Rāma is incarnation of Mahā Viṣṇu, Sitā Devī is goddess Lakṣmī and Lakṣmaṇa is none other than Śeṣa Nāga.

Good Story but there is not co-reference to check authenticity
i wnat to need our kuldevi, i am shandiya gotra and rawal sur name. I (AUDICHYA TOLAK BRAHMIN) OUR NATIVE IS MEHLOL DIST : PANCHMAHAL
Interestingly, I have heard this story from my father as well. We are Ravals with Kautsas gotra and were brought down from north (Badrinath Kedarnath priests are still called Ravalj). Originally from Mandal participating in King Siddharaj’s ashvamegh yagna. Our kuldevi is Khambhalai maa, as she was brought on shoulders down from the north and was originally Maa Chamundi of the navdurga. We are shaivites who pray upon shakti.
Dear Rashmikant Acharya Sir. Yes, your kuldevi is Ma Shaktambika at Pasvadal for sure. Mine is also the same so I know about it.
Dear Fellow Brahmin Bandhus,
Just moving around the comments randomly on this forum makes me feel that many of our Brahmin fellows seek guidance with regards to their Kuldevi. That being said, I’d like share a website, which I found over the internet, and throws light on this. I hope it helps.
Regards,

I am a Brahmin of Shihor Sampraday Audhichya Agiyarase. My Gotra is Kaushik. My grandfather has grown up in Russia for the last 85 years. According to my grandfather, his father was in Bhumbhali village near Bhavnagar. According to him, the name of Kuldevi was Khodiyar Mata ji which I do not believe because the Kuldevi of Brahmins is not of Charan caste because the Kuldevi of Maharaj of Bhavnagar is Mata Khodiyar.
You will give me knowledge. Who is our family goddess?
Я брамин Шихора Сампрадая Аудхичья Агиярасе. Моя Готра – Кошик. Мой дедушка вырос в России последние 85 лет. По словам моего деда, его отец жил в деревне Бхумбхали недалеко от Бхавнагара. По его словам, Кулдеви звали Ходияр Мата джи, которому я не верю, потому что Кулдеви из народа браминов не принадлежит к касте Чаран, потому что Кулдеви Махараджа из Бхавнагара – Мата Ходияр.
Ты дашь мне знания Кто наша семейная богиня?
હું શિહોર સંપ્રદાય ઔદિચ્ય અગિયારસે ના બ્રાહ્મણ છું. મારુ ગોત્ર કૌશિક છે છેલ્લા 85 વર્ષ થી મારા દાદાજી રશિયા માં મોટા થયા છે મારા દાદાજી ના કહેવા મુજબ ભાવનગર પાસે ભુંભલી ગામ માં તેમના પિતાજી હતા . તેમના કહેવા મુજબ કુળદેવી નું નામ ખોડિયાર માતા જી હતું જે મને માનવા માં આવતું નથી કારણ કે બ્રાહ્મણ લોકો ની કુળદેવી ચારણ જાતિ ની ના હોય કારણ કે ભાવનગર ના મહારાજ ની કુળદેવી માતા ખોડિયાર છે .
તમે મને જ્ઞાન આપશો અમારી કુળદેવી કોણ છે ?
