History of Audichya Sahastra Brahmin Samaj

औदीच्य ब्राह्मण समाज का इतिहास व कुलदेवियाँ

The word ‘Audichya’ is made with the word ‘Udichi’.  ‘Uudichi’ means ‘North’. That is to say, Brahmins who came from north direction to Siddhpur area, were called Audichya.

‘Brahminotpatti Martand’ describes the history of Sahastra Audichya Brahmin Samaj as follows – There is a city named Patan on the banks of the Saraswati river in Gujarat. The king of that country ‘Mulraj’ was distressed by conspiratorial relatives who wanted to remove him from the throne. He murdered all the conspirators and started to rule freely.

In his old age, Mulraj was regretted the sin of killing the relatives. He went to his Guru. The Guru said that ‘invite the Brahmins of the North region in the holy place called ‘Shristhal Siddhpur’ and donate them. They are ascetics. By donating them in the holy place, you will get virtuous benefits’. The King invited the Brahmins from Prayag, Kashi, Kurukshetra, Ganga Dwar, Naimisharanya and other places in the Siddhpur kshetra. The king requested them to accept donations. Brahmins rejected his request. When the Brahmins had gone to visit  Dadhichi Rishi on the banks of the Saraswati river, At that time, the Queen gifted clothes and jewellery to the Brahmin wives

The Brahmins wives requested their husbands to get the king rid of sins. Brahmins accepted the request of their wives. They worshipped their Kuldevi goddesses and freed the king from sins. Raja donated Siddhpur and several villages of that area to the Brahmins. These Brahmins were 1016 in counting, so that is why they are called Sahastra Audichya Brahmins.

Sahastra Audichya Brahmins can be devided into three types. They are –  1. Siddhpur, 2. Tolak, 3. Others

1. The Brahmins who received Siddhpur in charity are called ‘Shristhaliya’. The book ‘Brahmanotpatti Martand’ says-
