Havyaka Brahmin
Havyaka Brahmins are the Hindu Pancha Dravida Brahmin〔cite_ref-havyakahistory_3-0〕 subsect primarily from the Indian state of Karnataka and North Malabar, Kerala. Havyakas profess the Advaita philosophy propounded by Adi Shankaracharya.
==Etymology==
The word Havyaka was transcended from words Havyaga or Haveega which means the one who performs Havana and Homa. These are known as "Havya" and the person who performs them is known as "Havyaka." The traditional vocation of Havyaka Brahmins was to perform the rituals of Homa-Havana and therefore they came to be known by the name of their profession.
Other, more fanciful theories have been proposed as well. In ancient times the region of today's Uttara Kannada between Konkan in the north & Tuluva in the south was known by the name of Haiva. This could be the possible source of the term 'Haiga' as Havyakas are also referred to. In fact, the name "Haiga" persists in Havyaka lexicon. The word Havyaka might also be derived from the place named Haigunda.
