History
Naudiyals though now part of the vibrant Garhwali Pandit Community, are originally Gaur Brahmins of the traditional Pancha-Gauda Division given by Kalhana, the other division being Pancha Dravida.
The progenitor (मूल पुरुष in Garhwali) of this clan as per historians and in the folklore is said to be "Pandit Shashidhar (पंडित शशिधर)", who supposedly migrated from Bhring-Chirang (भृंग चिरंग) in around 1544 AD.
