'''Balouria''' ('''Balauria''', '''Balowria,''' '''Baloria''' or '''Billawaria''') is a clan of [[Chandravanshi]] [[Rajput]]s, who claim descent from the Balauria kings of [[Basholi|Basohli]] princely state.
Chandravanshi Rajputs, who ruled the modern areas of Billawar, Basohli, and Bhaderwah from around 750 AD till the 19th-century annexation. They derive their name from their kingdom Balor, today known as Billawar.

Raja Bhogpal, of the Pal dynasty of Kullu, founded Balor, today known as Billawar, in the late 7th century AD. The ruling family of Balor were subsequently known as Balouria. They mostly live in and around Jammu and Kashmir
and Himachal Pradesh, in North India. The Balouria clan established the Kingdom of Bashohli, Bhaderwah, Batol and Bhadu in Jammu and Kashmir. Raja Bhupat Pal (1598-1635), Raja Medini Pal (1725-1736) and Raja Amrit Pal (1757-1776) were
