According to legend, Saraswat Brahmins are brahmins who lived on the banks of the former Saraswati River that once flowed in northern India. The Saraswat Brahmins are mentioned in Indian historical texts such as the Bhagwat Gita, Mahabharat, Ramayan & Vedas. They are considered descendants of the Sage Saraswat Muni who lived on the banks of the mythological river Saraswati.[1] Around 1900 BC, the river Saraswati started vanishing under ground and the people on its banks started migrating to other parts of India thus forming sub-communities. There are many sub-communities in Saraswats, including
Rajasthan Saraswats

Kashmiri Pandits
