[Advaita-l] Temples across India

[ravi chandrasekhara]

Dear All,

Choubey is a surname used among Kanyakubja and Sarayupuri Braahmanas to name a few.  But there is a Braahmana jaathi: Mathure Ke Choubey that Jaldhar was referring to.  There is an article in Wikipedia about them.  Purohits at Badri are Namboodiri Braahmanas.
