'''Gauda''', or '''Gaur '''or '''Gaud''' or '''Gor''' or '''Gour''' or '''God''' is a group of [[Brahmin]] communities in India. The Gauda Brahmins are one of the five [[Pancha Gauda]] Brahmin communities that lives in the north of the [[Vindhya]]s.<ref name="JGL_2002">{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc0000loch |url-access=registration |title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism: N-Z |author=James G.

In Sir George Campbell's Ethnology of India, it is suggested that Gaurs may have derived their names from the [[Ghaggar | Ghaggar-Hakra River]], which, in ancient times, was a tributary of Saraswati and now discharges its waters into the [[Sutlej]] near [[Firozpur]]. According to popular usage the word Gaur means a priest, and it is not impossible that the name of Gaur Brahmins was given to those who served as priests to the ancient kings of [[Kuruksetra]]. <ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Hindu_Castes_and_Sects/xlpLAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1 |title= Hindu Castes and Sects: An Exposition of the Origin of the Hindu Caste System and the Bearing of the Sects Towards Each Other and Towards Other Religious Systems |editor=[[Jogendra Nath Bhattacharya]] |publisher=Spink Thacker |year=1896 |isbn=9781298966339 |page=52 }}</ref>
