It is also found in Sialkot, where it claims Chauhan Rajput origin, like the Chimas, and descent from Raja, Kang through Kahr and his descendants Dara and Nattu who migrated to that District in Jahangir's time. In Ludhiana the Kaler Jats at weddings worship their jathera at his matt or shrine. They also affect Sakhi Sarwar and at marriages an offering of bread is made to a Bharai. The first milk of a cow or buffalo is given to a virgin and, if it is abundant to other girls as well.
