Dharan (Hindi: धरन्) is an Indian clan of the Agrawal community. Agrasen established 18 Gotras (or clans) for each of his 18 sons based on the names of their Guru and divided his empire among them. Collectively these 18 Gotras are called Agrawal, one of the most important trading communities in India.
