The Dadhich Brahmins are a subgroup of Brahmins who are the descendants of Rishi Dadhichi, who is said to have given his bones for making of the vajra, the mythological weapon created to kill the demon vritra/virtrasur. Dadhich Brahmins are mainly found in Indian states of Rajasthan and Haryana; A temple of Dadhichi's sister Dadhimati is found in the village Goth Manglod, Nagaur district, in Rajasthan. They are Atharvavedi and Shaivaite Brahmins and the Atharvaveda was composed by them.[citation needed] Sharma, Joshi, Dayama, and Dadhich are some common family names among them.
