Bhumihars are a community of Hindu Brahmins, who are the natives of Bihar and Jharkhand. Some Bhumihar grooms can also be looked in Uttar Pradesh and Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh. Relationships in Bhumihar grooms and brides are based on endogamy. A Bhumihar groom is allowed to wed Maithili Brahmin bride in Tirhut and Mithila. In Bundelkhand, alliance between Bhumihar Brahmins and Kanyakubja Brahmins is also acceptable. Wedding rituals in Bhumihar matrimony are similar to that of Brahmins
