Anariye Pirapur
Origin village of Sandilya Gotra in Maithil Brahmins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anariye Pirapur is a mool grama (origin village) of one of the clans of Maithil Brahmins in Sandilya gotra. One clan of Maithil Brahmins were originated from this village. Harinatha is the first person of the village recorded in the written history. His son was Acyuta. Acyuta's daughter was married with Maharaja Rudranarayan. Acyuta was also the son-in-law of Sankara of Jalaya mool. It was recorded by the Panjikar Paṇḍita Modanānda in the folio 138. Anariye is also sometimes written as Allāri and Anāri.[1]
The Veda of Shandilya gotra is Samaveda, therefore the village was a Samaveda pradhan (majority following Samaveda) village. It is one of the origin villages of Chhandogas.
