Origin of Chitpavan Brahman
According to Bene Israeli legend, the Chitpavan and Bene Israel are descendants from a group of 14 people shipwrecked( टूटे हुए जहाज़ का )off the Konkan coast. One group converted to Hinduism as Chitpavan Brahmins, the other remained Jewish or Bene Israel.
The Konkan region has been inhabited by several immigrant groups including the Parsis, the Bene Israelis, the Kudaldeshkar Gaud Brahmins, and the Konkani Saraswat Brahmins, and the Chitpavan Brahmins were the last of these immigrant arrivals.
