Khullar

Khullar

Khullar is a Punjabi Khatri clan.

Place of origin

Prior to the Partition in 1947, Khatri clans, such as "Churamani", "Nanda", "Khullar", "Jerath", "Chopra" and "Vig" were particularly associated with the city of Ludhiana in Eastern Punjab (today in the Indian state of Punjab (India).

The Khullars are also settled in the cities of Hoshiarpur and Jalandhar for the last three centuries. The Khullars of Basti Guzan in Jalandhar have gone to other places like Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi due to their government service postings and have settled there. Some have immigrated abroad to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and various parts of Africa in search of jobs and have settled there.

Religion

Like most Khatri clans, the Khullar clan is almost exclusively Hindu. However, a small minority follow Sikhism as well.
