Virpur (Also known as Birpur) is a village located Mahisagar district in the Indian state of Gujarat, 40 kilometres (25 mi) from Godhra Junction. The Mahisagar river flows some 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the village and this, too, has religious symbolism. It was once a site of pilgrimage for pilgrims who came to pay homage to goddess Zamzar.

The village is thought to be older than 15th Century. The Zafar Khan of Muzaffarid Dynasty declared himself independent king after blessings of Khwaja Mehmood Dariyai Dulha whose Dargah is still a prominent place and having annual celebration.

There are several schools in the village and the presence of students studying technical and engineering subjects has attracted companies to offer on-campus jobs.
