Gahoi
Gahoi is a merchant community in central India. [1][2]
Gahois are divided into 12 gotras, each gotra is divided into six alls.[3][4] They have traditionally interdined with the Parwar Jain community of Bundelkhand.[5]
The "Grahapati" family mentioned in the Grahapati Kokkala inscription is believed to be from the same community that is now known as Gahoi.[6] This inscription at Khajuraho, dated Vikram Samvat 1056, Kartika (1000–1001 AD), is the earliest known reference to the Grahapati family.[7] Unlike all other Chandella-era Grahapati inscriptions which are Jain, this refers to a Shiva temple,[8] although Verse 3 suggests that the builder also worshipped Jinas. An inscription is of Vikram samvat 1011 mentioning Pahilla, regarded to have been a Grahapati, who built a Jain temple during the reign of Dhanga at Khajuraho. This temple is among those that still exist at Khajuraho.[9][10][11]
