Original write up : Mohan Lal Babulkar
Presented by Bhishma Kukreti
the histroy of Devprayagi Pandas start from the time when Jagadguru Shankracharya established Badrinath /kedarnath dham and established Raghunath Ji temple in Dev Prayag around 800 AD. from that time, the Brahmins related to Shankrachary Math (South India) started to come to Garhwal and settled there including Dev Prayag
There are eight Thoks of Dev Prayagi Pandas in Dev Prayag (Many are migrated to many places )
Thok -1 : Pujari and Karnatak
Thok-2 : Arjunya, , Raibani and Babuliye
Thok-3 : Akhniyan and Maliya
Thok-4: Kothiya (Later on settled in Koti)
Thok-5- Todriya
Thok -6 -Tailang, , Tevadi, Bandoliya and Chaube
Thok-7- Dhayani or Dhyani (now, settled in many places as dev Prayagi Bhatt )
Thok 8- Maharashtra and Palyal
These Thoks are no mre in existence:
Pujari bans and Bavn Hajai
Mohan Babulkar states that these Pandas are Drvid, Tailang, karnatak, Guad or Maharashtrian
Can you please provide more details about the history of these pandas from devprayag. Especially about the tailang bhatt.
