Origins Matharus are considered to be one of the original SIKH (Jatt, Tarkhan etc) Tribes. They originate from the regions of Amritsar, Jalandhar, Lahore and Ludhiana in Punjab. They consisted of mainly weapon-makers. MATHARU name features on one of the marble slabs on Harmandir Sahib's premises (AMRITSAR, India). It is told by family elders that Matharus built battleships in olden times for attack and defense, and that a canon in the Ranthambore (RAJASTHAN, India) Fort also bears the name MATHARU. Matharus built weapons for and fought in the armies of Prithviraj Chauhan, a wise, brave and famous Warrior King of Ajmer, Rajasthan, who has the credit of unifying the embattled, beleagured small and large kingdoms and fiefdoms of Rajasthan into one powerful force to reckon with. Skilled artisans in the craft of woodwork, ivory and ebony inlay work and ironcraft, Matharus have made a name for themselves in the world in related fields and industries. A spirited clan, they love to work hard and live well. Known for being a highly ambitious and progressive tribe, Matharus are now diversified into many other professions like medicine, research, law and entrepreneurship. Famous Matharus |
