Present circumstances
The community is found in the districts of Nagaur, Rajasthan.[citation needed] The Nagoris are well known as marble tile manufacturers for the past 7 centuries and dairy farming for 4 decades. One of the biggest joint families in Nagaur belongs to Nagoris.
In Nagaur, Rajasthan they have their own caste council, the Nagori Jamat. Also in Pakistan they have their own caste council known as Nagori Jammat and their president is changed after two years. Like many Muslim castes in India and Pakistan, they follow their own Islamic laws for society. They have developed charity work to pension widows, old people, schools, and hospitals. Nagoris are well settled in India (Mumbai ,Gujarat and Delhi, Jaipur), Pakistan (Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Umerkot, Tando Allahyar, Jhudo).
With the change in the era, they have turned towards other occupations like Doctors, Chartered Accountants, Government Officers and other jobs in MNCs, while many have moved to United Kingdom and United States of America.[citation needed]
According to other views, the community's traditional occupation was that of blacksmithy, but as with other artisan groups, they have seen a decline of their traditional occupation. They are involved in the manufacture of various iron objects such as knives and swords. Most of them have abandoned their traditional craft, the majority of the community are still engaged in work related to blacksmithy in Rajasthan. They have their own caste council, the Nagori Jamat. Like many Muslim artisan castes in India, they are strictly endogamous, and maintain the custom of gotra exogamy. Their main clans are the Chauhan, Behlim, Bhao Bidru and Kallaa(n) waale all which are of equal status, and intermarry. There are no reported cases of marriage with the Multani Lohar, a community which also involved in blacksmithing. The community is found in the districts of Ahmadabad, Mahesana and Banaskantha.[1]
