"Khurd" redirects here. For the village only named Khurd, see Khurd, Pakistan.

Khurd and Kalan (Urdu: خرد اور کلاں, Hindi: ख़ुर्द और कलाँ, Punjabi: Gurmukhi: ਖ਼ੁਰਦ ਅਤੇ ਕਲਾਂ, Shahmukhi: خرد تے کلاں) are administrative designations used in India and Pakistan to indicate the mainland (Khurd) and extension (Kalan) 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 many villages in Delhi such as Holambi Khurd and Holambi Kalan, Pooth Khurd and Pooth Kalan and Mangolpur Khurd and Mangolpur Kalan in North west and north districts of Delhi and the famous Dariba Kalan jewellery market in Delhi, there was also a smaller street nearby, 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, Budruk is used instead of "Kalan." It is a corruption of the Persian word for "greater."[3] In Manipur, Khullen and Khunou are used.
