Emperor Agrasen and Queen Madhavi ruled Agroha around 3200 B.C. Agrasen established 18 Gotras (or clans) for each of his 18 sons based on the names of their Guru and divided his empire among them. Collectively these 18 Gotras are called Aggarwal, one of the most important trading communities in India.
