History |
When we look at the glorious past of the village samaghogha which is situated at
the banks of the river Fot, the village was under the rule of city Madi along with
other villages in 1720, according to Hindu calendar that means in 1664, the village
was shared by the two princely brothers, price Garjanji and Karshanji they have
built 'Darbar Gadh' in the middle of the village with three stairs of building which
helped in protecting the village from outsiders. Mainly people from the city Madi
came to settle here. Among them, first came ' Gurjar' businessmen and then Jain
saint Goraji who helped Jains to come here and settle them in the village.
On the basis of the old remains of the village we can prove that the main village
was situated in south from where the recent village is, among the farms and near
the place where the 'Hanumanji' is situated the banks of the river Fot were not
high and because of that it ruined the village when it folded, so for the safety
the village, the village started to move slowly to the north side. People who first
to come in the village were ' Kathi', 'Ghal', 'Khod', 'Gogha' and 'Sama' and that
why the name Samaghoga must be given to the village as predicted. According to the
ancient proof, in the West Side of the village is situated a temple of price Togachigi
who died saving Samaghoga. The inscription on a stone that is here is made at 1743
according to Hindu cleared and that of 1608.
The people of different casts like Jain, Jadeja, Hoja, Rajput, Barot, Sumra, Harijan
were residing in the village. Gurjar Jains was mainly did businesses and landed
money to others. Adventurous Hoja's ventured in doing businesses in foreign lands.
Saha Murada who came from Bukhara and lived in Mundra, Price Togachji called Saha
Murada's brother Pirmamad and settled him in Samaghogha and then Pirmamad spent
his life in serving others and as a philanthropist. When he died, they made his
Dargah and worship him as a 'Pir'.
In the golden times of Khojas, they built well near riverbank, mosque inn, etc.
