Khangura

The Khanguras are a gotra of Jats from the Punjab region in mostly India. They are mostly found in the Ludhiana and Kapurthala districts of Punjab, and have accordingly 15-25 villages. They have traditionally, like many Jatts, been farmers. Recently many Khanguras have emigrated to Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and there are a few in New Zealand and Italy. The Khangura clan is almost all adherents of Sikhism. Many sikhs have originated from villages in Punjab (e.g. Bhadla (near Khanna), Aitiana, Latala) and have gone to foreign countries to earn money and build a better future for them and their children.

There also is a village named Khangura, in Punjab. Pro-nounced Phagorey.

Religion

Khanguras are almost exclusively Sikhs. Many Khanguras converted to Sikhism during the time of the 9th and 10th Sikh Gurus. Some very well known Sikh temples are located near villages claimed by the Khanguras, including "Gurdwara Guru Har Rai Sahib" near Phagwara located in Punjab(India)'s Kapurthala district.
