Garasia,[1] alternatively spelled Girasia,[2] Girasiya or Garasiya, is a title used by the Koli chieftains of petty states or Jagirdars in India who held the villages as Giras granted by rulers.[2] Many of the Chunvalia Kolis held the title of Girasia and they worshipped the Hindu goddess Shakti.[3]
The Koli Garasiya were tributary to the ruler of state who gave the Giras.[4]
Social order
Present-day Garasias are characterised by several social divisions with well-defined relationships. These divisions have appeared out of situations of culture contact and acculturation. Today Garasias are divided into Koli Garasia, Rajput Garasia, Dungri Garasia and Bhil Garasia.Шаблон:SfnpШаблон:Sfnp
