The Devrukhe brahmins are also called "Devarshi Brahmins". In 1926, the "Devrukhe Brahman Samiti", Bombay published a 16 page pamphlet in Marathi giving information about their community.[3]
Origins
Tracing the origins of Devrukhe Brahmins, it leads to one of the oldest Marathi speaking Brahmins in Maharashtra - Deshastha Brahmin, residents of Desha i.e. over the Western Ghats.[citation needed] During the end of 15th century - a period marked by famine and turmoils of Mughal rule, many Brahmin families descended the Western Ghats and settled near Sangameshwar - Devrukh, Ratnagiri. Later they were called as Devrukhe Brahmins. They follow the same traditions as of other Maharashtrian brahmins along with the influences that may have resulted due to migration near Ratnagiri.
