==Brahmin Swarnkar== {{Unreferenced section|date=October 2025}} The Brahmin Swarnkar are an Indian caste of Shrimali Brahmans, which developed from Shrimal Nagar (now known as Bhinmal). A group of Brahmins adopted a Swarnkar business for their enhancement of life style, and so these Brahmins are called as "Brahmin Swarnkars". Swarnkars are mainly found in local areas of Rajasthan like Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, etc.
