_Brahman, Jijhotia._--This is a local subdivision of the Kanaujia
subcaste, belonging to Bundelkhand. They take their name from Jajhoti,
the classical term for Bundelkhand, and reside in Saugor and the
adjoining Districts, where they usually act as priests to the higher
castes. The Jijhotia Brahmans rank a little below the Kanaujias proper
and the Sarwarias, who are also a branch of the Kanaujia division. The
two latter classes take daughters in marriage from Jijhotias, but do
not give their daughters to them. But these hypergamous marriages are
now rare. Jijhotia Brahmans will plough with their own hands in Saugor.
