The Khangura is a gotra of Jatts from the Punjab region in India. The name ''Khangura'' comes from Persian, meaning "Khan the follower of the guru". One of the powerful Khan rulers of erstwhile Punjab was deeply influenced by the teachings of the Sikh gurus. His descendants carry the Khangura name and completely converted to Sikhism during the time of Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Sikh prophet (Guru) (1621–1675) and Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh prophet (guru) (1666–1708). The Khangura clan is almost all adherents of Sikhism now. Historically Khangura Jatts held in Nanu mazara also known as Nano Mazara, Ladha Ganja and parts of Samrari and Mahl in Tehsil Phillaur. There is also a village Toderwal near Nabha distt Patiala which is the Village of all Khanguras.〔Origins and History of Jats and Other Allied Nomadic Tribes of India: 900 BC-1947 AD. B.S.
