Saryupareen Brahmins, also known as Sarvapar, Sarvarya or Sarjupariya Brahmins, are a subcaste of the Kanyakubja Brahmins native to the eastern plain of the Sarayu, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

The Saryupareen generally dwell in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, with most of them concentrated in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh known as Purvanchal. There are also Saryupareen communities in Mauritius, where Bhojpuri is a commonly spoken language, and the Caribbean.

Origin

According to the legend connected with the origin of Sarayupareen Brahmins, no Brahmin was prepared to accept food and gifts in the Yajna ritual performed by Rama, due to Rama having committed Brahmahatya by killing Ravana, who was a Brahmin. Hanuman brought sixteen young Kanyakubja Brahmin men to perform thread ceremony and purification ritual of Lord Rama in Ayodhya. They were fed and gifts were offered to them, after which the boys were taken back to the Kanyakubja country by Hanuman where their clan refused to accept them. Therefore they settled on the bank of the river Saryu. According to another legend, the Brahmins brought from Kanyakubja were adults and experts in ritualistic performances. Among them, Brahmins of Garga, Gautam and Shandilya gotras were appointed as Udgata, Aghwarya and Brahma, respectively. Therefore, these Gotras are considered most prominent among Saryupareen Brahmins alongside Kashyap and Bharadwaj.
