The Malvi Brahmans are found scattered in small numbers all over
the Marathawada Districts. They are immigrants from Malwa and
the adjoining country and hence are called Malvi Brahmans. They
belong to the Boudhayana Shakha (included in the Vajaseniya) of the
Shukla Yajmveda and have eponymous sections of the same character
as other Yajurvedi Brahmans. Being outsiders, as well as being
deficient in their acharas, they are generally considered degraded by
the Maratha Brahmans, and are not admitted to the communion of
food. They are Shaivas and their tutelary deities are Bhavani of
Tuljapur and Mahur and Khandoba of Jejuri. Narsinha and
Vyankatesh are also revered. They are priests, shop-keepers, culti-
vators, artizans, astrologers and jagirdars.
