Kesarwani Vaishya Sabha, Prayag had held a Mahasabha on December 27-29, 1918, at all India level at Meerganj, Allahabad & a national level organization Akhil Bharatiya Kesarwani Vaishya Mahasabha (Regn. no. 37y-1945-46) was founded in this gathering. Many proposals, mainly related to Kesarwanies marriage viz. control of mis-expenses, promotion of educations etc. Aalso got approved in this gathering.
Although, some believes that the first ‘Adhiveshan’ of Mahasabha was held at Kade-Manikpur, Allahabad in 1103 (Shravan Shukla Dweetiya, Sunday). But in the absence of any authentic detail about this, the first ‘Adhiveshan’ of Mahasabha is being considered in 1918.
Later, Kesarwani Vaishy Sabha, Prayag purchased the land & "Lal building" 19, Meerganj-Allahabad (Prayag Sewa Samiti Hospital" was running in it) costing Rs. 30,000/-, where the Kesarwani Mahasabha Adhiveshan was held in 1918, in 1920. The building was named as Shri Kesarwani Vaishy Sabha Bhavan (renamed Kesarwani Bhawan in 1945) & became head-office later. At present Kesarwani Inter College is running in this building.
The Mahasabha is active for development of Kesarwani community from Delhi in north to Bangalore, Chennai in south; Kolkata in East to Mumbai in west etc. Its branches are active in Maharashtra, Madhyapradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Orisa & Delhi.
