Agrasen was a legendary Indian king of Agroha, a city of traders. He is one of the descendants of the Hindu deity, Shri Ramchandra's elder son, Kusha. He is credited with the establishment of a kingdom of traders in North India named Agroha, and is known for his compassion in refusing to slaughter animals in yajnas. Goddess Mahalakshmi was the Kul Devi (prime goddess) of the Kshatriya king and she also gave her word of bestowing prosperity there for him and his descendants.[1]
The Government of India issued a postage stamp in honour of Agrasen in 1976.[2][3]
