Ghimire (Nepali: घिमिरे)is one of the surnames of the Brahmin (upadhya bahun) varna belonging to Kashyap Gotra in the Hindu Varna System. The earliest known ancestor, the royal priest Gudpal Vyas (also known by Gudpal Bias), lived in Ghamir, Dhurkot, (now called Ghamir, Gulmi, Nepal) who moved from Ujjain, which was ruled by King Vikramaditya, ancient city situated on the eastern bank of the Kshipra River in the Malwa region of central India.[1] Which is today part of the state of Madhya Pradesh, and it is the administrative centre of Ujjain District and Ujjain Division. Research Scholar, Parashu Ram Ghimire argues that the Brahmins who migrated from Ghamir to Musikot were called Ghamire/Ghimire, later in Musikot. In this logic claims Ghimire first started in Musikot.
