Raigar Community

We are a community of leather tanners settled in New Delhi. We are also known as Raiger, Ranger, Regar, Rangar Raidas, Jatia/Jatav, Rangya and Bota. Our ancestors migrated to Delhi from Rajasthan. Three sub-groups among us include: Sindhi Raiger, Lashkaria Raiger and Raigar. Marriages take place among all the three groups. The sub-groups are further grouped into several clans such as Bandarwal, Dhuriya, Jajoria, Kankheria, Rachoiya, Mauria, Jaggarwal, Atolia, Jaluthria, Dotania, Vohra, Mehra, Heria, Rathor, Bokolia, Barolia, Kholia, Sakkarwal, Sarsoonia and Tongaria.
