'''Origins'''<br />
<br />
Tracing the origins of Devrukhe Brahmins, it leads to one of the oldest Marathi speaking Brahmins in Maharashtra - Deshastha Brahmin, residents of Desha i.e. over the [[Western Ghat]]s.{{Citation needed|date=February 2021}} During the end of 15th century - a period marked by famine and turmoils of Mughal rule, many Brahmin families descended the Western Ghats and settled near [[Sangameshwar]] - [[Devrukh]], [[Ratnagiri]]. Later they were called as Devrukhe Brahmins. They follow the same traditions as of other Maharashtrian brahmins along with the influences that may have resulted due to migration near Ratnagiri.<br />
