Mithila Brahmins

Mithila Brahmins are a community of Brahmins originating from the Mithila region, primarily in Bihar and parts of Nepal. Known for their rich cultural heritage, they traditionally serve as priests, scholars, and custodians of Vedic knowledge. They speak Maithili and follow specific customs and rituals that distinguish them from other Brahmin groups. Historically, Mithila Brahmins have contributed significantly to classical learning, literature, and religious practices in the region. Their unique traditions reflect a blend of spiritual devotion and cultural identity rooted in the ancient Mithila civilization.
