Malviya Brahmin
The Malviya or Malaviya are a Brahmin sub-caste found in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Madhya Pradesh in India. The word Malviya literally means those from Malwa in Central India. They are a branch of the Panch Gauda Brahmins. Traditionally, they are said to be divided into thirteen and a half gotras, these being Bharadwaj, Chaubey Parasara, Angiras Chaubey, Bhargava Chaubey and Dube. All these gotras are Rigvedis. While the Sandilya, Kasapa Chaubey, Tivari, Sankriti and Kauta Dube are Yajurvedi. The remaining gotras, the Vats, Vyas, Gautam, Lohita Tivari and Kaundinya are Samavedis.
