Divisions of Maharashtra. The red region is an approximate indication of Konkan, the coastal region of Maharashtra and the ancestral home of Kudaldeshkars
The Aadya Gaud Brahmins (आद्य गौड ब्रह्मण), who settled near the Kudal region, migrated from the region of Gudadesh (गूडदेश) near Shravasti (श्रावस्ती) in north India[2][3] and not from Bengal.[full citation needed][need quotation to verify]
Philosophy
Kudaldeshkar Gaud Brahmins follow Shankaracharya's Advaita school of philosophy, and have their own three centuries old Matha in Dabholi village in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The first pontiff of the Shreemat Purnanand Swamiji[4] was initiated into Sanyasa by Vishwananda Swamiji. The present 20th pontiff of the Math is Pradyumnanand Swamiji.[5]
Language
The original language of Kudaldeshkars is Malwani. The Malvani dialects of Konkani are also referred to as a creoles between Konkani and Marathi. Today Malwani is more significantly identified as the principal language of Kudaldeshkars and also of the natives of the Sindhudurg district. There is no special script or text characters for Malwani and it is generally written in Devanagari. They also speak Marathi in Maharashtra, and Konkani in Goa and Karnataka. Malwani is also called Kudali, originally known as Kudwali. Kudwal is the ancient name for 'Kudal'.[6]
Since the community had its base in the Konkan area, food habits are naturally influenced by the sea coast. Their cuisine is of humid tropical nature, rice, spices, kokum, raw mangoes, cashew nuts and coconuts. The Malwani diets characteristics are well distinguished from Goan food. The cuisine contains a variety of spices blended with roasted coconut and coconut milk, the curries are made of finely grated coconut/coconut cream and coconut milk added to it. The Konkan region has Alphanso mangoes, and cashews, bananas, watermelons and pineapples also grow in abundance.
