Origin

During the reign of Rajaraja Narendra (Шаблон:Reign),[3] many Tamil Brahmin families settled in different parts of Andhra Pradesh.[4] Under Narendra's son, Kulottunga I (Шаблон:Reign), the first Chalukya-Chola emperor, several Brahmins migrated from the Tamil country.[5]

His son Virachodadeva, the Viceroy of Vengi, invited 546 Brahmin families and established them at Virachoda Chaturvedimangalam. Several records of the Chalukya-Cholas register the gift of villages in the plains of Godavari river to Brahmins who migrated from Dravidadesa.[5] These Brahmins who had settled in Andhra region are known as the Dravida Brahmins.[2]

Classification

They fall under the Pancha Dravida Brahmin classification of the Brahmin community in India.[6] Dravida Brahmins are divided into several sub-sects, which are named after the places in which they have settled such Aaraama Dravidulu, Puduru Dravidulu, Konaseema Dravidulu, Peruru Dravidulu, Tummagunta Dravidulu and Dimili Dravidulu.[7][2][8]

Most of them speak Telugu as their native language, while Puduru Dravidulu (settled in Nellore district) speak Tamil at home.[9][10]
