Chhimba (chhipa, Tonk Kshtariya) are variously described as a Kshatriya caste community and a Sikh clan of India.[1]

Their traditional occupation in the Samba district of India was dying and hand-printing calico fabric. It was probably some of these people who moved to areas of Himachal Pradesh, where they created a somewhat different style of printing cloth that was much favoured by the Gaddi people of the region.[2][3]
