Chaube
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chaube Brahmins are a group of Brahmins found in Northern India. In the Braj region, they serve as pilgrimage priests. They are also notable for their wrestling culture and masti way of life.[1][2] The Hindi term caube is inherited from the Sanskrit caturvēda ("containing the 4 Vedas").[3]
