Nagar Brahmin
The Nagar Brahmin are a Hindu caste of India. They are primarily found in Gujarat but have a history of migration to Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh in the north, Maharashtra and Karnataka further West and into the South, and as far as West Bengal in the east.
In North India, the Bias Brahmin community includes Nagar Brahmins and two other Brahmin groups from Gujarat: the Audichya Brahmins and the Bardai Brahmins.
One notable member of the community was the educationist Hansa Jivraj Mehta, whose inter-caste marriage to Jivraj Narayan Mehta in the 1920s provoked what historian John R. Wood describes as a "mild sensation". Her husband was from the Bania caste.
