Saryupareen Brahmins (Hindi: सरयू पारीण ब्राह्मण), also known as Sarvarya Brahmins or Saryupariya Brahmins, are North Indian Brahmins residing on the eastern plain of the Sarayu near Ayodhya. Saryupareen families such as the Tripathi, Tiwari, Mishra, Shukla, and Dikshit were involved solely in the research and analysis of Vedas and other religious texts, performing yajnas and other religious practices. These families did not perform 'pujas for benefactors and did not take dakshinas or donations against such prayers. Hence they were considered to be solely devoted to the quest of learning about the Vedas and spreading knowledge rather than benefiting in any way through benefactors. Along with the other Pancha-Gauda Brahmin communities, the Saryupareen traditionally preserve the customs and traditions as prescribed by ancient Hindu canons. In the 19th (held at Prayag) and 20th (held at Lucknow) national convention of Kanyakubja Brahmins by Kanyakubja Mahati Sabha, in 1926 and 1927 respectively, it appealed for unity among Kanyakubja Brahmins whose different branches included Sanadhya, Pahadi, Jujhoutia, Saryupareen, Chattisgarhi, Bhumihar Brahmin and different Bengali Brahmins.[1]
The Saryupareen generally dwell in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh with a significant amount of them concentrated in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh known as Purvanchal. There are also minority Saryupareen communities in Mauritius, where Bhojpuri is a commonly spoken language and the Caribbean.

Migration and Profession
Over the years, members of this community have migrated from the region of current Uttar Pradesh towards other parts of India like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Assam, West Bengal, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and even overseas like USA, Surinam, Fiji, Guyana, Mauritius, Trinidad etc.[citation needed]. British law prevented Brahmins to migrate to the various British colonies in the caribbean and others, but Brahmins found their way there and propagated Hinduism within the communities of Hindus who were often harassed to convert to Christianity. These Brahmins eliminated the detailed caste system over seas and reformed it into a trio: Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya. The outcastes who migrated were then incorporated into the Vaishya sect.
The community has influenced in professions related to civil services, medical, technology,defense and academic fields.
