History

Maheswar in Madhya Pradesh was the capital of the illustrious ancestor Sri Somavamsha Sahasrarjun, also known as SahasraBahu or Kartaviya Arjun. Written accounts of Kartavira Arjun can be found in Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Puranas. He was a devotee of Dattatreya. Recent history is traced to Mandav Gadh in Madhya Pradesh (modern name being Mandu). Written accounts confirm that Savjis were rulers of Mandu and successfully withstood constant Muslim hordes for centuries. There's a temple of Sri Somavamsha Sahasrarjun in Maheshwar, MP, dating back to the early 2nd century. The temple was rebuilt in 13th century after withstanding Muslim attacks.

Culture

Savjis are staunch martial Hindus with strong lineage of Emperors, Kings and renowned warriors. The males append a "Sa" to their names as a term of respect. Example "Bhavan Sa", "Yellosa" . The females append "Bai" to their names. Example "Sakku Bai" "Anantha Bai". The savjis perform a Upanayana samskaar like The Brahmins and the Savjis adore the goddess Bhavani as the family deity. The Dussarah is the major festival for every house hold and during the Dussarah they prepare special culinary dishes like "Edimi" (prepared of wheat flour, gram flour), "Arithi" (prepared of wheat flour in shape of Diyas) and offer "Lalpani" (intoxicants) to the Goddess Bhavani. On every Kartika month Sapthami tidhi in Shravana Nakshatra the Savji's celebrate the birthday of Sri Sahasrarjun with much pomp and gaiety. The notable feature of Savji's caste is that during ceremonies of marriage the system of dowry is not at all visible. And the marriages are been done form grooms side. In all most major towns and cities where Savji's LIVE there exists caste societies in name of S.S.K Samajs.
