Khurd and Kalan
Khurd and Kalan (Hindustani: ख़ुर्द और कलाँ, خرد اور کلاں Punjabi: ਖੁਰਦ ਜਾਂ ਕਲਾਂ) are administrative designations used in India and Pakistan to indicate the smaller (Khurd) and larger (Kalan) segments of a town, village or settlement. They are usually added after place names. For instance, Berote Khurd and Berote Kalan in Abbottabad District in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, Dangoh Khurd in Una District of Himachal Pradesh and the famous Dariba Kalan jewellery market in Delhi, there was also a smaller street near by, known as Dariba Khurd or Chhota Dariba, both mean small, now known as Kinari Bazaar.[1][2]
In some parts of the former Maratha territory, the word Budruk is used instead of "Kalan". It is a corruption of the Persian word for "greater".[3] In Manipur, Khullen and Khunou are used.
