Chaube

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]
