In Maharashtra, however, the community is subdivided, and its members refer to themselves variously as Bhavsar Vaishay, Bhavsar Kshathriya, Bhavsar Shimpi, and Namdev Shimpi. Namdev Shimpis are considered a distinct group, even though they are an offshoot of the Maharashtrian Bhavsars, because they are followers of Namdev, However, they use the same surnames as Maharashtrian Bhavsars.

Bhavsar, or Bhavasar, is also the surname of some members of the ethnic group. By profession, Bhavsars are divided into Rangrezs, who were traditionally involved with woodblock printing on textiles, and Shimpis/Darzis, who were traditionally involved in tailoring.

According to legend, the Bhavsar originated in the Saurashtra region.

The Bhavsar community has negotiated with the Pakistani government to assure passage for regular pilgrimages to Hinglaj. The community fled the Sindh area around Hinglaj and settled in Gujarat and Maharashtra during the Middle Ages, when they were faced with forced conversion to Islam by Mughal invaders. The Maharashtrian Bhavsars moved further south, as far as Tamil Nadu, settling along the way in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Another branch moved east to Vidarbha and Madhya Pradesh.
