Maheshwari are a business community of Vaishnava, originating from Khandela, Rajasthan in western India. They are a sub-group within the Marwarisand Mewari community. The community is found throughout North India.
India has at least one Maheshwari family in each of its 640 districts; although they may not speak the Marwari or Mewari dialect. According to Ramesh Zawar, former news-editor Loksatta, celebration of the festival of Teej and the biannual Ashtami Puja is a sign that the family is Maheshwari irrespective of the language spoken in the family. As no standardized form of Marwari or Mewari language exists, it is possible that a Maheshwari family may not speak Marwari language; rather they would speak in any Indian language. After originating in Rajasthan (India), being a business community, maheshwaris spread in all over India and in modern times, maheshwaris are found all over the world. There are 72 subcastes (khanp) in maheshwari caste.The list of subcastes is as follows:-
Marriages are very flamboyant social affairs in this community as is the case in most Indian marriages. They marry within their own group , like other castes in Hindu and Muslim society.
In Maheshwari marriages, a unique ceremony known as the Mama Phere (literally, "rounds around the groom in the lap of maternal uncle") takes place, in which the bride circumnavigates the groom in the lap of her maternal uncle as she would around a sacred yagna fire.
