Agarwal in General<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Agarwals as we all know is an important mercantile caste in India, belonging to the group of traders, and shopkeepers, that are called in northern and western India, ‘Bania’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the small state of Agroha now in Haryana ruled a king named Shri Agrasen Maharaj from whom they claim their descent. Maharaja Shri Agrasen is their (Aadi Purvaj), initial ascent. Shri Lakshmi Ji Goddess of good fortune is the caste Goddess. Maharaja Shri Agrasen had 18 sons (one of them was invalid), after whom 18 Gotras of Agarwal Community have been found. The ‘Gauda’ branch of northern Indian Brahman act as priests for Agarwals. Caste members are among the most respectable and enterprising of all the mercantile classes and act as bankers, money lenders and land lords. They also form highly trained and educated community of India and have their own share in the professionalism. Agarwals are Orthodox in their conduct and diet. They are vegetarians and also shun Onions, Garlic, Carrots and turnips. The majorities are worshiper of God Vishnu but about 14% of the caste members follow the Jain religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present pedigree (the Family Tree) goes to the roots at Etawah, where the most respected Shri Udaybhan Ji Agarwal resided and from whom rose this family tree – like a banyan tree with branches, sub branches with buds, leaves and flowers and ever spreading after migration from Etawah to the lap of Holy Yamuna and Betwa at Hamirpur – someone and half century back. The fragrance spread far and wide – even in many remote parts of India and some of the foreign countries. It covers almost two centuries and, in some cases, even thirteenth of their generation, which in itself is an achievement. It is true that we all are flowers and leaves and branches of this tree. When all branches, subbranches, leaves and flowers get together at their main root at Hamirpur – we will be inspired divinely and will have a unique spiritual feeling. This Family Tree includes the branches of daughters, leaves of this tree as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
