Origin of Dhaighar(Dhaigude/धायगुडे) clan
The Dhai Ghar (also written as Dhaighar) Khatris originally consisted of three family groups of North India – Kapoor, Khanna(Khanna is derived from Khanda/Khande/Sword/Talwar) and Malhotra (also known as Mehra or Mehrotra derived from Mihir/Surya ).They were regarded as Kshatriyas of two and a half houses because a grouping of three is considered unlucky; more so because half the house of Mehras, those who remained in the Himalayas (present day Uttarakhand) had not joined the new group. They were also regarded as Khatri, especially after their expansion into Char Ghar (four houses)
