Luthra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luthra is a surname originating with the Khatri Arora Hindu and Sikh communities of the Punjab. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "lakshman," meaning having a mark of good fortune. It is part of the broad Kshatriya caste. The Kshatriyas in Hinduism are one of the four varnas. They are traditionally members of the military or ran in an administrative capacity. The Kshatriya were assigned to protecting the Hindu dharma. They are from the Aryan race and have been ruling in the past through their kingdoms.

Today, Luthras live in numerous regions within India, but are mostly concentrated in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Luthras can be both Sikh and Hindu, as the religions are generally very close in the Punjab region. Luthras have also immigrated to various countries, with a notable population in Canada, United Kingdom, United States and Australia
