Bhatt Prabhu


The Bhatt Prabhu Brahmin community belongs to the Panch Darvida category of Brahmins, and claims to be a sub-caste of the Karhade Brahmin community.

History

It is said that certain Padye families were excommunicated for some reason during the 14th or 15th century, which led to the formation of a new community known as the Bhatt Prabhus. But unlike Padyes they did not migrate to any other state and chose to remain in Goa.
