“Easily seven generations,” says Karthik Bhatt. That's how long his family has been here. “My ancestors migrated to Tamil Nadu in the 1600s,” he clarifies. The language spoken at home is a unique dialect of Gujarati, interspersed with Marathi, Tamil and Telugu words while the staple diet is rice, rasam and sambhar.

The young chartered accountant, who has been documenting his community's history in the city, belongs to the Khedawal community of Gujarat, one of the earliest migrants from a village called Umreth in Gujarat, “Why they chose to settle down 1,500 miles away is unclear. It is said that they came to Thanjavur and fell in love with the place,” says Mr.Bhat.
