The Māthura Kāyasthas are one of the twelve Kāyastha groups. (In modern terms, e.g., Nigam, [...]).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages.
