The Brahmins are a community of Hindus, who belong to the Brahmin varna.
Gotras
See also: GotraBrahmins are originally divided in eight gotra, but in time these subdivided into other ancestor (Pravara) sages in their genealogy, in addition to the founder of the gotra. At the same time as the member families of the gotra dispersed to different regions of India each regional group within the gotra came to have more in common with the members of other gotras in the region, culture affiliation and lifestyle, than the members of their own gotra living elsewhere in India.These trans-gotra affiliations led to the formation of a number of regional endogamous Brahmin Jatis.
According to Brahmanical culture, there are gotrakarins or eight rishis from whom the remaining 49 or more gotras are evolved or descended. They are Jamdagni, Gautama, Bharadwaja, Vishvamitra, Vasistha, Kashyapa, Atri and Agastya. The remaining all gotras other than gotrakarins are said to be Pravaras.
The list of gotras and pravaras found in the Brahmin community of Hinduism are:
