Paruchuri

Paruchuri (Telugu: పరుచూరి) is one of the clans/surnames of the Kamma community, found largely in Andhra Pradesh and to some extent in USA, UK and Karnataka. [1] [2]

This clan belongs to the "Pedda Kammas", descendants of Nayaks and ruling clans, who form the uppermost strata of the Kammas. Paruchuri Kethi Nayakudu claimed Durjaya/Kondapadamati Budhavarma lineage. [3]
