They are believed to have migrated from India to Nepal many centuries ago, and are known for their expertise in Hindu religious texts and rituals. The Rupakheti Brahmins are also known for their agricultural skills, and many of them work as farmers.
The Rupakheti Brahmins have their own distinct customs and traditions, which are followed strictly. They are known for their strict adherence to vegetarianism and their conservative social values. In terms of marriage, Rupakheti Brahmins practice endogamy, which means that they prefer to marry within their own caste.
