The first known reference of the term “Varshney” has been in Mahabharat / Gitopadesh when Arjuna had addressed Shri Krishna by this name. Varshneys are the progenies of Shri Akrur Ji Maharaja. Varshney Community is primarily based in western UP and traditionally represents the traders’ community. However, presently our community represents well-educated strata of society which can boast of having professionals ( Doctors, Engineers, CA’s etc), Civil Servants ( IAS, PCS etc), Entrepreneurs, in addition to the conventional business of trading. Now Varshneys could be found anywhere in India and in most of the developed countries.
