'''Padmashali''' ({{lang-te|పద్మళాలి}}) or Padma Bramhana is a [[Hinduism|Hindu]] Bramhin in origin,and took up artisan tasks are predominantly found in South Indian States. The community members are traditionally weavers specialised in making clothes of all kinds. They engage as priests [[Brahmin|Brahmins]] for performing all rites and rituals and also perform services as temple Priests for other castes.

==Origin==
The term ''Padmashali'' is derived from two words ''Padma'' and ''Shali'', The Padma means [[Nelumbo|lotus]] and Shali means weaver.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DAb2jb5redYC|title=The Indian Textile Journal|last=|first=|date=1984|publisher=Business Press|year=|isbn=|location=|page=63|pages=|language=en}}</ref> They support their Sanskrit origin with various myths and ''Puranas'' such as ''Kulapurana'' and ''Markandeya Purana''.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=t5XlI91kP3YC|title=The World of the Weaver in Northern Coromandel, C.1750-c.1850|last=Swarnalatha|first=P.|date=2005|publisher=Orient Blackswan|year=|isbn=9788125028680|location=|pages=31–41|language=en}}</ref>

The Padmashalis claim to be descendants from ''Bhrigu Rishi'' and ''Markandeya Rishi'', Markandeya's son ''Bhavana Rishi'' who were born one hundred and one son; they took to weaving and the first clothes they wore was out of the fibres of the lotus stem so they came to be known as ''Padmashalis''.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?redir_esc=y&id=SqLrAAAAMAAJ|title=Journal of Indian Textile History|last=|first=|date=1955|publisher=Calico Museum of Textiles.|year=|isbn=|location=|page=56|pages=|language=en}}</ref>

==Padmashalis Today==
The Padmashalis divided into two groups based on ''Sampradaya'', being the [[Shaivism|Shaivas]] and the [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavas]] and they worship both [[Shiva]] and [[Vishnu]].<ref name=":2" />

Although Padmashalis are related to Brahmins, they are considered as a backward (OBC) caste by the [[Government of India|Indian government]] while forward caste in some states.<ref name="padmashali">{{Cite web |url=http://www.padmashalisamaj.com/html/history-padmashalis.htm |title=Padmashali |access-date=2013-02-24 |archive-date=2013-05-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512140007/http://www.padmashalisamaj.com/html/history-padmashalis.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> The community is highly Sanskritised, with all men wearing the sacred thread and performing the similar rituals which north Indian Brahmins do, like North Indian Brahmin castes, their origin relates to sages as gothras.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=79495|title=Dubai: Shettygars of Mangalore Form 'Padmashali UAE'|website=www.daijiworld.com|access-date=2019-08-14}}</ref>

The Padmashalis basically perform Brahmin rites and even today a group who are qualified as ''agama shastra'' ''pandits'' perform the ''poojas'' and vedic rites. They are identified as ''Padma Brahmins''.<ref name=":1" />
