About the Portal · पोर्टल के बारे में
A community-built archive
एक समुदाय-निर्मित अभिलेख
The Aggarwal Heritage exists to keep our rituals, history, and traditions alive for the next generation — in their language, on their phone, with the elders consulted. Made with love, for every Aggarwal, everywhere.
Why this exists
A generation away from losing it
The Aggarwal community traces its lineage to Maharaja Agrasen and the kingdom of Agroha — founded on equality, non-violence, and the principle of Ek Iint, Ek Rupaya: every citizen shares in building the community. Eighteen gotras descend from that lineage, spread today across India and the world.
In one or two generations, much of what our grandparents knew — the exact mantra for Lakshmi Pooja, the regional steps of Griha Pravesh, the meaning behind each phera at a Vivah — risks being lost. Younger families, especially in the diaspora, want to honour these traditions but lack a trustworthy, accessible source.
This portal is our small attempt to fix that: a single place where any Aggarwal family can come to learn, contribute, and connect.

Our mission · हमारा मिशन
Three commitments
Preserve, exactly as we perform
जैसा है, वैसा संरक्षित
Rituals as Aggarwal families have actually performed them for generations — with every regional variation respected and documented, not flattened into a single "correct" version.
Bilingual and accessible
द्विभाषी एवं सुलभ
Every guide in Hindi and English, with audio mantras, video walkthroughs, and printable PDFs — for the elder who reads only Devanagari and the child who reads only English.
Give back to the community
समुदाय को वापस देना
Every rupee you give to social work goes to social work — education and support for underprivileged Aggarwal families. You choose how much extra to give to keep this site running, and whether to cover the card fee; that part is a contribution to running the site, not a charitable donation.

Who builds this
A community project
The portal is currently built and maintained by the Singla family of Khori, Rewari, with content review and contributions from elders across multiple Aggarwal families. We welcome contributors of all skills — those who know the rituals, those who can record video or audio, those who can write code, and those who can simply share corrections.
A note on our research · एक बात
Honest effort, open to correction
Aggarwal Heritage is a community effort, not an academic institution. The history, timeline, gotra records, and ritual descriptions here are drawn from published genealogical research, oral traditions, and community knowledge gathered by our founding team. We have worked hard to be accurate and respectful — but history is living, and no single source has the full picture.
If something here doesn't match your family's knowledge, a regional tradition, or a better-documented source, we genuinely want to know. This portal exists to be corrected, expanded, and made richer by the community it belongs to. Every improvement makes it more useful for every Aggarwal family, everywhere.

Sign up to contribute, build your family tree, or simply explore. The community heritage — rituals, gotras, timeline, and history — is free and will always remain free for every Aggarwal. The private family-tree platform (your own tree, photos, stories, reminders) runs on a small per-family subscription that covers hosting and development; founding families stay free permanently.
