Kāyastha or Kayasth is a community or social group of India. Their tradition states that they are derived from a deity known as Chitragupta, whom they revere as their ancestor. Historically the Kayastha are found in north-central and eastern India, and are traditionally a caste of scribes. Both the origins of the Kayastha (legendary and historical), as well as their position within the Hindu varna caste system, are highly disputed topics.
