About our community
The Maher of Saurashtra
The Maher, also known as the Mihir, Mair or Mer, come from the Kathiawar region of Saurashtra in Gujarat, India.
Our history is one of battles, valour and sacrifice to uphold our honour and values, including sacred oaths and duties to the common people and to the Jethwa Ranas of Porbandar.
