Kular is a village in Firozpur District, Punjab, India. It is located in south western Punjab, lying in close proximity with the Rajasthan State's Hanumangarh and Sri Ganganagar districts. Many farmers of the village own land in both Punjab and Rajasthan. The village, unlike its other counterparts of Punjab, including neighboring villages, has a very low population of Sikh community. This is one of the bases on which neighboring Haryana lays its claim on the region, repeatedly denied by the Punjab government. The land here is very productive and though the average holding size is small-except for a few landlords holding huge estates with an annual turnover of crores of rupees-people in general are prosperous.

Village morphology
The village is a traditional Punjab village, with narrow lanes, closely clustered housing and small dwelling size. This is in stark contrast with the neighboring villages of Rajasthan where there is a central temple of Lord Hanuman with upper caste and landlords' houses surrounding it and lanes radiating in all directions. One of the street facing the gates of the temple is the main commercial street with most of the village shops located on it. On the far end of the street, there is a primitive central business district located with shops surrounding a Banyan tree and many roads radiating from it further away to the periphery. On the outer fringe, there are houses and worshipping centres of the scheduled castes members of the village.
