Agrawal (anglicised as Agarwal, Agerwal, Agrawala, Agarwala, Agarwalla, Aggarwal, Agarawal, Agarawala) is a Bania community found throughout northern, central and western India, mainly in the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. Members of the Agrawal community were also found in what are now the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Sindh, though at the time of the partition of India, most of them migrated across the newly created border to independent India. The majority religions followed by the Agrawals include Vaishnava Hinduism and Jainism. Agrawals are divided into eighteen exogamous clans (gotras). Many members of this community use their clan name Agrawal as their surname, while others use that

  • Agraval (Hindi अग्रवाल agravāl) ist eine indische Jati (Unterkaste) der Händler. Die Agraval gehört zur Varna (Oberkaste) der Vaishyas, welche die dritte der traditionellen vier Kasten bildet. Sie stammen aus Rajasthan und haben sich von dort mit den Händlerkasten der Maheshvaris, Osvals, Khandelvals und Porvals in ganz Indien verbreitet. Unter ihnen gibt es neben Hindus auch Anhänger des Jainismus. Ob sich die Bezeichnung auf den nahe Ujjain gelegenen möglichen Ursprungsort Agar oder den mythischen Herrscher Agrasen aus der Suryavamsha-Dynastie bezieht, ist nicht geklärt. Laut einer weiteren Hypothese zur Wortherkunft könnte eine Verbindung zu Agra bestehen, welches nicht weit vom ursprünglichen Siedlungsgebiet der Agraval entfernt ist. (de)
