The Celebrating Sourashtra:
Though we have origins in Gujarat, we are at present, settled in Madurai and other parts of Tamil Nadu. The origin of our name dates back to the kingdom of Sourashtra in Gujarat. In Tamil Nadu, we are known as Patnulkarar - silk-thread weavers - who speak 'Pattunuli' or 'Khatri', a dialect of Gujarati, We are found in significant numbers in Dindigul, Periyakulam, Paramakudi, Erode, Palani, Kancheepuram and Rajapalayam to name a few places in Tamil Nadu. In Tirupati, Saurashtrian families are known as Pattusali or Saurastrian Brahmins.
