The Aghrias are found predominantly in [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Chhattisgarh]], western parts of [[Odisha]] and [[Chota Nagpur Plateau|Chhota Nagpur]]. <br />
Aghrias are the Rajputs of Agra who left Agra in the 16th century unable to bear the intolerant torture of Sikandar Lodi. They were given shelter by the Kalinga king and started living their lives in Western parts of Odisha.<ref name="RPM_DNB_2007">{{cite book |author1=Ramesh P.
