5. दिल्ली-आगरा एवं उत्तर प्रदेश के अन्य नगरों की ओर प्रवास (Migration Towards Delhi, Agra, and Other Cities in Uttar Pradesh)

देहली सैकडो वर्षों से देश की राजधानी रही है। इसी तरह आगरा को मी मुगल शासन में राजधानी के रूप में रहने का सौभाग्य मिल चुका है। शासको की राजधानी होने के कारण इन दोनो नगरो मे ही खण्डेलवाल जैन समाज के सदस्य सैकडो वर्षों में रह रहे है। जब से मुगल शासको के दरबार में राजस्थान के राजाओ का प्रभाव बढा तथा उनको उच्च अधिकारी गवर्नर जैसे पद प्राप्त होने लगे तो इन गवर्नरो के साथ खण्डेलवाल समाज के व्यक्ति भी आवश्यक व्यवस्था के लिए जाते रहते और धीरे-धीरे देहली, आगरा जैसे नगरो में बसते रहे। उत्तर प्रदेश के कुछ जिले सरावगी समाज बहुल जिले है ।

The Khandelwal Digambar Jain (Sarawagi) community gradually expanded to Delhi, Agra, and other parts of Uttar Pradesh, influenced by historical and administrative developments.

Delhi and Agra:

• Delhi, being the capital city for centuries, naturally attracted members of the Khandelwal Jain community.
• Similarly, Agra, which served as the capital during the Mughal era, became another key destination for the community.
• With the increasing influence of Rajasthani rulers in the Mughal courts, high-ranking officials and governors often brought Khandelwal Jain families with them to assist in administration and manage resources.
• Over time, many Khandelwal Jains settled permanently in Delhi and Agra, forming vibrant communities.

Other Cities in Uttar Pradesh:

• Besides Delhi and Agra, several districts in Uttar Pradesh have become home to Khandelwal Jains.
• Their migration was often linked to administrative assignments, trade opportunities, and religious connections, helping them establish a strong presence in the region.

Role in Society:

The Khandelwal Jain community’s migration to these areas highlights their integration into the socio-political framework of the time, their role in governance, and their ability to adapt while maintaining their cultural and religious values. Their contributions to commerce, administration, and the development of Jain temples have left a lasting legacy in these regions.
