Historical perspective of Vinods:
Origin:
The family origin dates back to Tretta-Yug in the days of Shri BhargavRaam Avtaar of Vishnu (many billions years back). He reclaimed a land beside Sahyadri mountain range on west shore in Konkan area (Maharashtra state in India) and called upon 60 Brahmins to settle down on the reclaimed land. He invited brides from Ambejogai in Marathwada area of Maharatshtra and got them married. He formed groups of 6-7 such couples and sent them apart to establish themselves on various places in Konkan.
We shared our land with Datars, Vads, Somans, Bhaves, Barves, Bams, Kolhatkars, Panchnadikars, Pethes
