Patwardhan may refer to the surname used by members of the Marathi Chitpavan Brahmin community belonging to the Kaundinya gotra. [1] [2] The Karhade Patwardhans belong to the Kashyapa and Naidhruva Gotra and their history in the Rajapur region of the Konkan dates back to 1191 A.D. Copper plate grants have been recovered from the region, which also points to a Gurjar element in these settlers. Today the Karhade Patwardhans are known by other surnames such as Gurjar, Padhye, Bhat, Degwekar, Shouche and Huzurbazar. [3]
