Chinta or Chintya or Varachinta is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Komatis (a trading caste of the Madras Presidency). Chinta refers to the plant Chinta (Tamarindus indica). The Komatis are said to have originally lived, and still live in large numbers on the banks of the Godavari river. One of the local names thereof is Gomati or Gomti, and the Sanskrit Gomati would, in Telugu, become corrupted into Komati. The sub-divisions are split up into septs (viz., Chinta), which are of a strictly exogamous character.
