Title | Bramins. Die Braminer. |
View of two Brahmin, a varna (class, caste) in Hinduism specialising as priests of sacred learning across generations.Brahmins used to survive on the donations they used to earn from religious rituals called Daan by following the religion- Dharma. They were traditionally responsible for religious rituals in temples, as intermediaries between temple deities and devotees, as well as rite of passage rituals such as solemnising a wedding with hymns and prayers.However, Indian texts suggest that Brahmins were often agriculturalists in medieval India. | |
