Agroha

Agroha, located about 20 Km's North-West of the City of Hissar in the State of Haryana in India, was once a very prosperous city. However, it has changed a lot due to the ravages of time. Present day Agroha village is about 2.5 kms from the old Agroha City.

First Efforts at Modernization

Businessmen Seth Bholaram Dalmiya and Lala Samval Ram established a Goshala in 1914 and Shri Ramjidas Bajoriya of Calcutta built a Temple dedicated to Agrasen and established a Dharmashala ( a place for poor people) in 1939.
In April, 1975, a All India Aggarwal Convention (Akhila Bharatiya Aggarwal Sammelan) was held in New Delhi. At this convention a plan was adopted for the development of Agroha. In 1976, the Agroha Vikas Trust was established.

Expansion of the Agroha Vikas Trust

The Aggarwal Engineering and Technical Society gave 23 acres of land to the Aggarwal Vikas Trust. Through the effort of the Convention Director Shri. Shrikishan Modi, the work on the Agrasen Temple was started. In May, 1982, the sanctum of the Temple was completed. The Akhila Bharatiya Aggarwal Sammelan opened the Temple by organizing the first Aggarwal Kumbha Mela. It was a historic occasion where more than 50,000 people of the Aggarwal parivaar participated. A 300 x 400 feet Tank called Shakti Sarovar was constructed by Sharad Purnima in 1986. A beautiful image of Samudra Manthan was installed in the middle of Shakti Sarovar.
