The Pattegar live in Karnataka and migrated from Gujarat. Hinduism is their religion. They speak Khatri and Kannada and read and write in Kannada. They are not vegetarians and eat wheat and rice as cereals.
The Pattegar are monogamous and they prefer marriages between cousins. Divorce is not allowed. The dead are cremated. On the death of the father, sons inherit the property with the oldest son becoming in charge of the home.
The Pategar work in business, industry and in private or government service. They have a regional association to encourage them. Boys and girls are educated and they use modern medicines and family planning too.
Pray that the regional association members come to Jesus Christ and lead others to Him.
Pray that gospel materials and the internet lead them to salvation.
Scripture Prayers for the Patvekari (Hindu traditions) in India.
