Origins of name
[edit]Nagri Tutial or the town of the Tutials is named after a Dhund Raja (chief) Toota Khan, who was a son of Doomat Khan.[citation needed]
The Haro River cuts across the village of Nagri Totial.
The village, situated at an elevation of 4,081 feet, has a unique history. Before the partition, Hindus and Sikhs lived alongside Muslims in harmony, until many fled to India during that period.
The villagers of Nagri Totial predominantly belong to the 'Totialian' branch of the Dhund (Abbasi) tribe, named after Raja Toota Khan, an Abbasi chief.[citation needed] They have settled along a stretch southeast of Abbottabad, extending to Ghora Gali near Murree in the east. Additionally, some Qureshis, Awans, and Bhattis also reside in the village.
