==Origin== |
|||
The Pancholi is one of the endogamous division of Ahir Hindus of Gujjarat. The community is believed to have derived its name from the Panchal region in [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]], their original homeland. According to their traditions, they migrated from [[Mathura]] along with Lord [[Krishna]] to the Parathar region of [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]]. They are distributed over eighteen villages in the [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]] region. The community are found mainly in [[Junagadh District|Junagadh]], [[Amreli District|Amreli]] and [[Bhavnagar District]]s.<ref name=":0" /> |

==Etymology== |
|||
It would not be correct to ascribe Pancholi Brahmins in North Gujarat to Panchal region of Gujarat. They belong to other northern states. They migrated to Gujarat on request of the king Mulraj Solanki for performing Rudra Yagya in Siddhapur-Patan in the year 942 AD. All the resettled Brahmins are known as 'Audhichya' and Pancholis are from among the Audichya Brahmins.<ref name="autogenerated51"/> |
