My Tankaria History
TANKARIA, a village of four brothers:  BHAD, BUKHAD, NANA VAJA (younger VAJA)
and MOTA VAJA  (older VAJA).  People say that the brothers came from near
Ahmedabad.  No one exactly knows where from. These four brothers laid the stone
for the village of Tankaria many, many centuries ago. Therefore the most families in
Tankaria belong to these four brothers.  Refer to the family tree below.





























*That is the reason Mota Padar Graveyard is called Bhad Bhag Graveyard.
