  • Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha, also referred as North Indian Kayastha, is a subgroup of Hindus of the Kayastha community that are mainly concentrated in the Hindi Belt of North India. In Hindu texts and traditions, they are described to have descended from the Hindu god Chitragupta who is usually depicted carrying "a flowing notebook, a pen and an inkpot" engaged in writing down human deeds. They are further divided into twelve , each of which is claimed to be the progeny of Chitragupta's two wives. The earliest recorded history of these groups goes to the early mediaeval period of Indian history, while the word "Kayastha" itself dates to the third century CE. (en)
