Maithil Brahmins are ancient Vedic Brahmins who still follow rites and rituals prescribed in the Vedas. This is a comparatively small community of highly cohesive and gentle, but traditional Brahmins. They were originally from the ancient kingdom of legendary King Janak of Mithila. Maithil Brahmins are seekers of vedic knowledge with pure minds. They love fish, Choora-dahi, Mangoes and discussions and debate. Maithili is their mother tongue, though many use Angika (a southern variant of Maithili) as their mother tongue.

The Maithil Brahmins have a reputation for orthodoxy and interest in learning. They have no further endogamous divisions but observe a complicated pattern of marriage among five hierarchically ordered groups, each of which may take a wife from the group below it.

They are found in Mithila region of Bihar which is from Terai region of Nepal to Godda and Deoghar of Jharkhand.
