  • 2- Second theory is that there were two famous brothers in Kallar one was Bela rai and killo rai. Bewal was named after Bela rai and Kallar was named after killo rai.
  • 3- Third theory is that Kallar was wasteland a jungle and all the wells in the area were "kharra" a term used for rough water, even now the wells in tehsil Kallar Syedan are majority kharra, so that is how Kallar came out of kharra term.
