"'Dabral"' ( देवनागरी: डबराल), are a community of Saraswat Brahmins who are the descendents of Rishi Bharadwaja.

Origin:

Origin of Dabral's is Shivalik Ranges of Himalaya Mountains.This place is around 20 KM away from Kanva Rishi's Ashram. This is said that Dabrals are originally from Maharashtra. They came to present Uttarakhand in 1433 and then spread across 8 villages i.e. Timali, Dabar kutani, masogi, syalana, jhaltha, gahali, Dawolikhal.

Till late 1960s the hub of Dabrals was village Timli but later period of time, people started relocating to different places on globe. Now people are very less educated about this village.

Life of the people:

There was a time when Dabrals were famous for their intellectual, Spiritual and Philosophical Knowledge. In 1882 a Sanskrit School was established in Timli Village that produced many scholars from the region. There were many known scholar those who had deep Knowledge of Vedic, Spiritual and Ayurvedic domain.

Timli Sanskrit Pathshala or Universal Gurukul:

Timli Sanskrit Pathshala was established in the year of 1882. Documents of estlibishment and contribution are still exists for this School. Timli Pathshala School was affilated to Banaras Hindu University. OMSOHAM Human Welfare Charitable Trust omsoham has plans to reconstruct Timli Sanskrit School with a new brand name of Universal Gurukul.

There was a time when people of Timli village used to talk to their animals in Sanskrit language. Now the time has changed and a lot of water has passed through river Ganges. Now people of Dabralsyun don’t know about their history or they are not even interested in it. They are just worried about food for two times and education for their children. Today, hardly anyone knows the name of Acharya Sadanand Dabral, Ishwari Dutt Ji Dabral, Shiv Prashad Dabral, Bani Vilas Dabral , Shri Vilas Dabral and hardly anyone remember the contribution of Dr. Goverdhan Prashad Dabral for his motherland. there is a famous temple banseswar mahadev sidh peeth near dabar and dhouri
