Devrukhe Brahmin

Devrukhe Brahmins are one of five sub-castes of Maharashtrian Brahmins.[1] The name Devrukhe is a corrupted form of the word "Devarshi". This community is small in numbers compared to other Maharashtrian Brahmins such as Deshastha Brahmin, Saraswat Brahmin, Konkanastha Brahmin and Karhade Brahmin.[2]
