Etymology
Bhandaris are one of the shudra communities of Konkan belonging to the 'Other Backward Classes' and are mainly engaged in toddy making (toddy - a kind of alcoholic beverage made from juices of palm tree. They are ethnically proto-asians - people having dark complexion and short stature. This commumity might have got the name Bhandari on account of its profession of toddy tapping as it means liquor distillers. The meaning of the word 'Bhandari has more than one origin. The two theories are given below.
1.In "Katha Kalpataru" and "Bramhotarpuran" it is claimed that Bhandaris (Utpati) evolved from Lord Shiva's Gharmabindu. Once, Lord Shiva on his way to war against the demon Tilakasur, felt thirsty. A drop of sweat fell from his eyebrow, and from that drop, the first Bhandari man emerged. Lord Shiva asked him to find some water for him to drink; unable to find any water the man climbed a palm tree and fetched a refreshing drink. Pleased with this the man was made Treasurer of Alkapuri thus "The Protector of Royal Treasure (Bhandari)".
1.The name 'Bhandari' originated from the word bhanda, meaning big ships (vessel), in Sanskrit language. Those who engineered these ships were called Bhandari during Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and Peshwa era and its history goes far beyond that up to Maurya Dynasty.
