Bhumihar brides belong to the landholder's families, who have been traditionally holding grants of land for secular services. Bhumihars are mainly residents in Bihar and U.P., who follow the Brahmin wedding procedures. The Bhumihar brides possess the usual surnames that the Brahmins of Northern India use to have. The Bhumihar community also has some Rajputana surnames. Education is prevalent in the community, and the Bhumihar brides are well-educated, while being homely.
