<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Kalan''' ([[Hindustani language|Hindustani]]लाँ, خرد اور کلاں [[Punjabi language|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.<ref name=bigexp>{{cite news|title=Big Bazaar|author=Danish Shafi|url=http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/latest-news/big-bazaar/230560/|publisher=Indian Express|date=Oct 21, 2007|access-date=May 23, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.is/20130616134950/http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/latest-news/big-bazaar/230560/|archive-date=June 16, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The Upper Chambal Basin: A Geographical Study in Rural Settlements|author=Moti Lal Nath|publisher=Northern Book Centre|year= 1989|isbn=8185119597 |page=47 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KIgBKeSXF4AC&pg=PA47&dq=Khurd++Kalan&hl=en&sa=X&ei=T_edUd5ah4GuB_DkgNAI&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Khurd%20%20Kalan&f=false }}</ref><br />
<br />
In some parts of the former [[Maratha Empire|Maratha]] territory, the word [[Budruk]] is used instead of "Kalan". It is a corruption of the Persian word for "greater".<ref>{{cite book |title=Maratha town and city planning with reference to the systems of village development during 17th and 18th centuries |chapter=Provincial divisions Administration Of Maratha province During 17th to 18th Centuries |author=Avinash Sowani |year=2011 }}</ref> In [[Manipur]], Khullen and Khunou are used.<br />
