SHREE VILE PARLE KOPOL UTKARSH MANDAL

Our community is replete with various last names as you will find from this directory. Just as there is an interesting story behind the word Kapol, there are equally interesting anecdotes behind some of our last names. For example, with the blessings of Goddess Kankai, a son was born in the family of business tycoon Bhimshah and he was named Kankidas. The descendants of Kankidas are now called ‘Kanakias'. The family of a leading person named Virpal moved from the village of ‘Chhanjad' to ‘Vala' and they were then known as ‘Valias'. Kapols living in the village of ‘Chital are known as ‘Chitalia' and similarly residents of the village ‘Gorakada' are known as ‘Goradias'.
