Saryuparin Brahmins, also known as Sarvarya Brahmins, Sarjupar Brahmins or Saryupariya Brahmins, are a small 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 minority Saryupareen communities in Mauritius, where Bhojpuri is a commonly spoken language, and the Caribbean.

Origin

According to the legend connected with the origin of Sarayupari Brahmin, no Brahmin was prepared to accept food in the Yajna performed by Rama because Rama had killed Ravana, who was a Brahman. So Hanuman deceitfully brought sixteen Kanyakubja Brahmin boys. These boys underwent thread ceremony in Ayodhya, they were fed and charities were offered to them. The boys were taken back to the Kanyakubja country by Hanuman but their parents refused to accept them. Therefore they settled on the bank of the river Saryu. According to another myth, the Brahmin 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 Saryupareens.
