From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gahoi is a merchant community in central India. The traditional population centre has been the Bundelkhand region, with their origin claimed to be at Kharagpur.[1]
Gahois are divided into 12 gotras, each gotra is divided into six alls.[citation needed]
The oldest known Gahoi (Grahapati-anvaya) inscription is of samvat 1011 mentioning Pahilla, who built a Jain temple during the reign of Dhanga at Khajuraho. This temple is among those that still exist at Khajuraho.[2][3]
