Bagrinagar or Bagri is a village and gram Panchayat in Sojat tehsil of Pali district of Rajasthan state in India.It is also known as Lanka Nagri as the Seervi community dominating this area is following the principle of Ravana of Ramayan wherein one lures another's wife by money and co-habits with her without getting legal divorce from the first spouse. This practice is called Nata Pratha and is widely prevalent among the Seervi who worship Aai Mata as their Kul Devi.
One more irony is that there are eleven principles of Seervi Samaj as laid by Aai Mata but seldom are they followed by the Seervi Samaj followers. For example, not to lend or borrow money on interest whereas the main , I fact 90% of the Seervi Samaj followers do money lending business and that too illegally. In Tamilnadu, the government has fixed 16% per annum for the pawn brokers but inspite of this restriction the Seervi Samaj as pawn brokers are charging interest from minimum of 18% per annum (1.50 rupees per month) to 48% per annum (4 rupees per month) for silver also. And one more principle says that treat others wife as your own mother or sister but the Seervi Samaj followers cohabit with others wife who has not divorced from her original spouse legally. Also there is no concept of divorce in Sanatan Dharma but they are copying Islam concept of Talak and that too half baked. After Talak there is halala also which means a divorced couple can reunite but such provision is not there in Seervi Samaj.
There is one district level District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) in the village which conducts the 8th Board exam in the district.
