Some have immigrated abroad to Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and various parts of Africa in search of jobs and have settled there.
-There is a place near ludhiana called village "Bharri". Every year the people there organise a huge fair and all the people from Khullar community go there and pray in front of Khullar's Sati Mata,( Kul Devi). Every year this fair is organised on third day (i.e. on ekadashi) from Krishna Janmashtami i.e. the birth day of Lord Krishna. The Temple of Kul Devi may be reached by rail and road. By rail coming from Ambala side, the nearest railway station is Khanna and from here road transportation is available and it takes hardly 30 minutes to reach the temple. This temple was built in 1469.
