&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Modh&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; communities comprise people who use the name and originate from [[Modhera]] in [[Gujarat]], India. In that [[States and territories of India|state]] and in [[Rajasthan]], there are many examples of Hindu communities who take their name from a town and thus there exist both Modh [[Brahmin]] and Modh [[Bania (caste)|Bania]]. Where two groups share a similar toponym, the Brahmin group often traditionally acted as priests for the other, although this was not always the case and sometimes there was no corresponding group at all or there were more than two.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |title=The Family in India: Critical Essays |first=A.
