Paruchuri

Paruchuri (Telugu: పరుచూరి) is one of the clans/surnames of the Kamma community, found largely in Andhra Pradesh and to some extent in United States, UK, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.[1][2]

This clan belongs to the "Pedda Kammas", descendants of Nayaks and ruling clans, who form the uppermost strata of the Kammas. Paruchuri Kethi Nayakudu claimed Durjaya/Kondapadamati Budhavarma lineage.[3]
