A glossary of the tribes and castes of the Punjab and North-West frontier province. otions atthe hill of Arahak, near Rowdri in Gurgaon, which is now called Dhosi,those of his descendants who settled in that locality became known asDhusars. Chiman rishihsis an ancient temple on this hill and a newone was built in recent years. Adjoining these temples is a tank, theChandrakup. The Dhijsars have the following seven groups or gotras :— * Popular legend distorts this descent in a curious way. It says that once Chaman, aBrahman of Narnaul, took as his mistress a woman of menial caste, who bore him 7 sons andas many daughters. When asked to marry them he bade them appear on an amdAvaa witha cow and made each touch its different parts : so one touched its tail {puchal) and foimdedthe Puchalar gotra ; another its horns {sing) and founded the Singlas gofra, and soon. Eachgotra has five panvaras, except the Kashib which has three or occasionally seven. The Kashibsare thus known as triparwaras or saptparwaras and the other gotras as p^^ichpanvaras. Bhargava Dkusar history. 89. The Dhusars affect the Yaj-ur Veda, the Mad3andaDi sakha and the Katjani sutraj andinvariably wear the sacred thread.
