bania

A subcaste of Bania, whose name is derived from the same place.

Another more ambitious legend derives their origin from the Bania caste.

And the Bania did so, but when he had almost got home he could not help looking behind him to see if there were really any sheep.

They say that once a Bania was walking along the road with a cocoanut in his hand when Vishnu met him and asked him what it was.

The Bania asked what he should do with it, and Vishnu told him to make a blanket out of it for the god to sit on.
