Virpur (Mahisagar)

Virpur (વિરપુર) (Also known as Birpur) is a village located in the Indian state of Gujarat, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Godhra Junction.

The village is thought to be around 400 years old. There is a baithak (a place near small hill named as "piramgali pahad" where saint Khwaja Mehmood Dariyai Dulha sat and gave religious teachings) 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Virpur.

Virpur also has a Muslim shrine, known as a Dargha, tomb of Khwaja Mehmood Dariyai Dulha. On every birth anniversary of Khwaja "Ursh"is celebrated with lot of enthusiasm, equally by people of all religions. Also there is tomb of "Dadi Amma" where a stone exists that has been blessed by a spiritual leader. When someone sits on the stone, it rotates by itself and provides the blessing in the form of some spiritual power.

The Mahisagar river flows some 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the village and this, too, has religious symbolism. It was once a site of pilgrimage for yatris who came to pay homage to a goddess.

There are several schools in the village and the presence of students studying technical and [[engineering]u] subjects has attracted companies to offer on-campus jobs.
