Khaara

Khaara (खारा) (Khara) is Jat tribe found it Nabha, Jind, Haryana.

History

It claims Chhatriya descent, and says its ancestor held office at the Delhi court, but his son Khara went to Khandur (Gurdaspur). The Kharas believe in a sidh whose shrine is at Khandur and there they offer panjeri, etc. They do not use milk or curd until it has been offered at the shrine. On the 5th of the second half of Baisakh, Maghar and Jeth special offerings are made there. The sidh was a Khara who used to fall asleep while grazing his cattle. One day his head was cut off by robbers, but he pursued them for some yards and the spot where he fell is now his shrine, and though the Kharas have left Khandur the sidh is still worshipped.
