SHRI KUTCH GURJAR KSHATRIYA
MAHASABHA is the CENTRAL
BODY of Samaj. Founded and Established on 3rd June 1972 at an auspicious time
at the most important and historical meeting at RAIPUR(M.P.)
Now If u see
back into the history of KGK Samaj and information available from certain
researchers and very old preserved documents of Barots (Bhats) keeping track of
ancestors in their books, ancestors (true warrior Khatriyas) arrived into Kutch
from Rajasthan in the 7th (seventh) century to fight and repel the unwanted
alien's attack from middle east to save the dignity of our mother land. In the
10th (tenth) century Chawra's ( see history of Chawra's on separate page on
this site) came from Saurashtra (Gujarat) and one Mr. PIYU CHAWRA established village named BHUVAD within Anjar taluka
and got himself and his family with relatives settled there. By that time
number of Khatriyas got settled at different places in
At that time
11 (eleven) villages named Anjar, Meghpar, Galpadar, Vidi, Nagalpar, Sinogara,
Khambhara, CHANDIA, Lovaria, Kumbharia, and Devalia were the main centers where
our ancestors settled. All 11 villages are nereby and around Anjar. The area is
plain and in general called Ugamna Pat. Regarding Dungara Pat (area of small
mountains) there are 7(seven) villages named Nagher, Kukma, Reha, Hajapar,
Jambudi and Ratnal and Madhapar where our ancestors of different channels
settled.
The name of village Madhapar was given on the
name of one Mr. Madha Kanji Solanki (3rd generation of Mr. Hemraj Hardas) who
had shifted from Dhaneti village to Madhapar in the year 1473-74.

Many
Histories are explained in LOK-Geets, KAHEVATs-Stories and Poems etc. eg.
Narshinh Maheta’ poems and songs along with kathas. has rich treasures of
our
Literatures
but we do not have exact timings of Narshinh Maheta’s Birth, all we have
is hazy assumptions of his timings.
Similarly
we have all the records of JADEJA CLAN since their ancestor JAM JADA and their
dynasty in Vahivancha records.
(all
records are kept in our Library of Kutch Science Foundation and also in MOTI
POSHAD of BHUJ where all kings records were recorded during dynasty time to
till dates).
But
None has records of JESHAL JADEJA though poems and History are available.
Similarly
King BHUVAD who established the Village BHUVAD on his name and also a SHIVA
Anthropologist
can make bone carbon dating from those specimens and confirm by Carbon -C14 dating of King BHUVAD timings.
During
our last visit to
They
are also Known as VAHIVANCHA who keeps records of generations with name and
sanvants (VS – Vikram Sanvant).
He
showed us all Recorded hand written Books of such records and gave us a
plentiful of the important in formations, records and also more than 400 years
old hand written CHARANI KAVYA SONGS
(Poems
of OLD CHANRNs – “CHARANI KAVYA SANGRAH”). Which are now at
the end to be lost soon if not preserved perfectly.
He
also gave dates of the Birth of BHUVAD CHAVADA as written in song as
9-22-11 BUDHA EKADASHI, which means that VS – Vikram Sanvant 922
and EKADASHI – 11 day moon, and WEDNES DAY.
Which
is 922-56 = 866 AD which are more closer to notes below.
1)
Vanraj, in the meanwhile, had raised an army. He fought and defeated king Bhuvad and regained
his lost kingdom.
He founded
Anhilpur Patan on the banks of the river Saraswati on Monday in the month of
Vaishakh in Vikram Samvat 802.
Vanraj was
installed as king and Shridevi was present to apply the rajtilak.
2)
He founded his empire in a forest on
land inhabited by a shepherd Anahill. It was a land supposed to harbour only
the brave souls.
It is said
that it was on this land that once a rabbit attacked a fierce dog. The new
capital was christened Anahillpur Patan in A.D. 745.
Though
it Looks very perfect, it may contradict with present incomplete archaeological
record. But the Biography records written and History of Ahilpur Patan give the
confirmation as below. So ARCHAOLOGY need to put it correct by Anthropology
investigations of the bone carbon dating from those specimens and confirm by
Carbon -C14 dating of King
BHUVAD timings
SHRIDEVI
Born in Kakar village,
Shridevi blazed a trail and carved out a niche in the history of
She
would find a way out of a seemingly difficult situation and no adversity would
scare her. King Bhuvad
invaded Panchasar on the outskirts of the Ran of Kutch.
King
Jayshikhari of Panchasar fought very bravely but died in the battle. His son
Vanraj was given shelter by sadhu Sheelgunsuri and was brought up in an
upashraya.
He
resolved to get back the lost kingdom of his father. In the company of his
uncle Surpal, Vanraj turned a robber. He robbed people and kings passing
through the forest so as to buy arms and raise an army.
Vanraj,
once, went to Kakar to rob a rich businessman. He entered the house and peeped
into the cellar to look for hidden treasures. His hand, instead of a pot of
gold, fell into a pot filled with curd.
Vanraj
thought for a while. What it signaled was that he was now a member of the
family and how could he think of robbing the same family. He, therefore,
returned empty handed.
Next morning
the businessman woke up to find that his house was in a disarray and things
were lying scattered all over. The businessman called his sister Shridevi and
said,' A thief must have entered the house at night.
Let's
find out what things have been stolen'. They began to look for valuables and to
their surprise they found that nothing was stolen. 'How could this happen ?',
they wondered. It was a mystery unresolved when Shridevi's eyes suddenly fell
on the pot of curd.
She
discovered fingerprints and that set her thinking. From the fingerprints she
inferred that they were those of a great and powerful personality. At the same
time, she was puzzled that, a man who had come to rob the house, went away
without stealing anything. How strange!
Who
that man could he? She was eager to find him and know from him his compulsions
for indulging in stealing and robbing. Vanraj also came to know that Shridevi
was eager to meet him. He came to her house at night in cognito.
On
seeing Shridevi, he felt brotherly affection towards her. He found peace and
love in her house after wandering for days together. Shridevi fed him with
sisterly affection and behaved as a sister would towards her brother.
Vanraj
said, 'From today, you are my sister and if I became king, I would want you to
apply rajtilak.' Years passed and Shridevi got married and settled in Patan.
Once, while she was passing through the forest, she met Vanraj and her
sisterly. love for him was aroused once more.
Vanraj,
in the meanwhile, had raised an army. He fought and defeated king Bhuvad and regained
his lost kingdom. He founded Anhilpur
Patan on the banks of the river Saraswati on Monday in the month of Vaishakh in
Vikram Samvat 802.
Vanraj was installed as king and Shridevi was
present to apply the rajtilak (anointing). The character
of Shridevi is an inspiring one. She accepted Vanraj, a nomad, as her
brother, who ultimately became a king,
but
she did not entertain any thought of getting any reward from him. Thus, she is
a shining example of pure sisterly love and affection, devoid of any trace of
selfishness
VANRAJ
CHAVDA Vanraj Chavda, the founder of the Chavda empire, was a powerful ruler of
Jaishikhari,
Vanaraj's father, was defeated by king Bhuvad in a battle and his pregnant wife
queen Roopsundari, accompanied by brother Surpal, hid herself in a forest.
Vanraj was born and brought up in the forest.
Once,
while child Vanraj was sleeping in a cradle hung between trunks of two trees,
Jain Acharya Sheelgunsuri happened to pass through the forest. His gaze fell on
the sleeping child and prophesied that the child would carve out a niche for
himself as a powerful ruler.
The
kind-hearted Jain saint gave shelter to the queen and her child. Vanraj was
looked after by the Jain monk and this helped in the inculcation of many
virtues in the infant Vanraj. His innate bravery did not remain dormant and he
became the king of the forest.
He was
a true Kshatriya (a warrior-caste) and while playing with children, he would
assume the role of a king. With the passage of time, Vanraj grew into a brave
man and showed his powers very often. A very determined man, he would never
retrace a step once taken.
He
learnt the art of warfare from his uncle Surpal and decided to take back the
empire lost by his father. He began collecting wealth, soldiers and weapons to
wq.ge a war against the enemy.
Once
Vanraj committed a theft at the house of a businessman in the neighbouring village. While
stealing things from his house, his hand happened to fall into a pot of curd.
He thought, 'My hand is smeared with curd and it means I have eaten in the
house of this man.
So I
am their guest. How can I steal things from his house ?' Vanraj left the place,
leaving behind the stolen goods. Next day the villager's sister Shridevi
learnt, on inquiry, that it was Vanraj who had left behind the stolen goods.
She
invited him to her house for a meal. Vanraj promised her that she would be
called to apply tilak (forehead Mark) on his installation as king. Vanraj
waylaid Bhuvad
and looted silver and one thousand horses.
The
king of Kanoj also did not offer any resistance to him and Vanraj thought the
time had come for him to seize power. He
founded his empire in a forest on land inhabited by a shepherd Anahill.
It was a land supposed to harbour only the brave
souls. It is said that it was on this land that once a rabbit attacked a fierce
dog. The new capital was christened Anahillpur Patan in A.D. 745.
Vanraj
brought from Panchasar the idol of Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan and got it
installed in Vanraj-vihar. The
Vanraj
became the king of
The
three sons of Yograj looted the ships anchored in the sea near Somnath Patan.
To atone for his sin, Yograj gave up taking food and water and committed self
immolation by setting himself afire.
