Dravida Brahmins is a sub-caste of the Telugu Brahmins of Andhra Pradesh in South India.[1] There are several sub-sects of Dravida Brahmins who originated from South India. They fall under Pancha Dravida Brahmins group of India. During the reign of Raj Raja Narendra of Thanjavur (Tanjore) Tamil Nadu, a few of these families settled in different parts of Andhra Pradesh and are named after the places in which they settled such Aaraama Dravidulu, Pudur Dravidulu, Konaseema Dravidulu, Peda Dravidulu and Dimili Dravidulu. They are primarily categorized as the Saiva Brahmins or followers of Shiva. [2][3]
