The Lost City of Agroha & its Agarwal Connection

In India, it is often hard to differentiate between fact and myth. History and legend are often intertwined so tightly, especially in issues related to communities, that it is worth a retelling. One of the most interesting of these, is the story often told, about an ancient mystical city on the banks of the great river, Saraswati and how India’s hardy business community, the Agarwals, are linked to it.

In this case, the legend actually resulted in the archaeologist’s finding the lost city.
