Maharaja Agrasen Jayanti

Agrasen Jayanti is a renowned event observed annually by the Agrahari and Agrawal sects of the Hindu community. This day is celebrated with full gaiety and devotion in the honour of their respected forefather, Maharaja Agrasen and commemorates his birth anniversary. Agrasen Jayanti is observed on the ‘Ekam’ (1st day) of the Shukla Paksha (the period of bright fortnight of moon) during the Hindu month of ‘Ashwin’. In the Gregorian calendar, this date falls between the months of September to October.
