Kayastha (also referred to as Kayasth or Kayeth) is a caste or community of Hindus originating in India. Kayastha means "scribe" in Sanskrit, reflecting the caste's traditional role as record-keepers and administrators of the state. Kayasthas have historically occupied the highest government offices, serving as ministers and advisors during early medieval Indian kingdoms and the Mughal Empire, and in important administrative positions during the British Raj. In modern times, they have attained success in politics, as well as in the arts and various professional fields.

The Ambastha are a sub-caste of the larger Kayastha community of India.

History and origin
According to the ancient Hindu mythology, the Kayasthas originate from Chitragupta.

Ambashtha is a sub-caste of Kayastha, mainly found in the Hindi speaking areas of India. It may be noted that Ambashtha sub-caste or tribe were inhabitants, in ancient times, of North Western India in the lower Chenab region. They migrated eastwards, in course of time, to finally settle in Magadha region of Bihar. This fact is evident from description of their country in Mahabharata(II,48,14) and in Bhagavata Purana(X, 83,23).

The Ambastha Kayastha follow a system of "Khas Ghar", primarily for practising exogamy. The Ghars are also used as surnames. These "Khas Ghars"(essentially identifier of villages the Ambasthas settled in Magadh region, after getting displaced from Taxila in Mauryan Times). Some of the these 'Ghars' are - Badhiyar, Bariar, Bartiyar, Bharthuar, Bilvar, Birnave, Chargave, Daraad, Derhgave, Dhudhuani, Dumarve, Eighthar, Gahilwar, Gayavar, Harghave, Jamuar, Karpatne, Kochgave, Mahtha Jaipuriar, Maijorwar Rukhaiyar, Maldahiyar, Mandilwar, Nandkuliyar, Nimaiyar, Panchbare, Panpatne, Parvatiyar, Rajgrihar, Sakaldihar, Sandwar, and many others.

One of the Ghar Rukhaiyar has its own long and old existence. KayasthaVanshaj has its objective to share the predecessors and successors of Rukhaiyar spread through out the country.
