The Kharol people probably migrated to Rajasthan, where they now live, from Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. They claim Rajput ancestry, yet they traditionally either made salt or farmed.
The Kharol people live in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
There are two main divisions of the Kharol people, the Todwalas and the Rajputs. Within those divisions, there are numerous gotras, or clans.
They no longer make salt. Most are now landless laborers.
The Kharol people practice Hinduism, the ancient religion of India. They worship and serve the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Hindus believe that by performing rituals and good works that they will attain moksha or freedom from the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. They visit Hindu temples and offer prayers, food, flowers, and incense to their gods in hopes of gaining protection and benefits. They do not have a personal or familial relationship with their gods like Christians or Jews. There are many forms of Hinduism, each with its own deities and beliefs.
The main yearly holidays of the Kharol people are Holi, the festival of colors and the start of spring / Diwali, the festival of lights / Navratri, the celebration of autumn / and Rama Navami, Rama’s birthday.
The Kharol people need to find a way to make a good living in the rapidly changing nation of India. They make a very meager living as landless farm workers. Better education would help them advance economically.
