Chhibber

Chhibber (Punjabi ਛਿੱਬਰ, Hindi छिब्बर) alternatively Chibber, is a Mohyal clan from the Punjab region.[1] They are one of the seven clans of the Mohyals of the Punjab. Most Chhibbers are Hindus, but because they were closely associated with the Sikh Gurus, especially the ninth and tenth Gurus, Guru Teg Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh, many have adopted (Sikhi) Sikhism as well.

Origins

Chhibbers derive their gotra from Bhargav Rishi , one of the seven saints. The Great Parshuram is one of the prominent ancestors of Bhargav gotra.
