Phillaur town in Punjab is situated on the Grand Trunk Road, between Ludhiana City and Jullundur City. According to British Jullundur District and Kapurthala state Gazetteer-301, 1904, as well other references Hari Ram Gupta [1] wrote, "Tradition traces its (Phillaur) origin to a Jat named Phul who called it "Phul-nagar" or "Phul-city". (Semi-independent states of the British Punjab, such as Patiala and Nabha, were called "Phulkia States", after their founder, a Phul Jat).[2]
