'''Bharasar''' is a small village in the [[Kutch District]] of [[Gujarat]], [[India]].<ref>[http://indiawater.gov.in/IMISWeb/DataEntry/HabitationDirectory/Reports/Rep_DirectoryList.aspx?Condition=P50votMRqBU%3D&id=%2FLhT6qkajL9MZf%2FQsedGlw%3D%3D&StateName=Y3GICfaem94%3D&DistrictName=2csk51VfDIA%3D&level=cMpX3xtH%2BqA%3D&sublevel=a5JzOi%2F3L2g%3D Integrated Management Information System (IMIS)]{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The Bharasar [[Gram panchayat]] is the local administrative governing body, and the village being a [[Bhuj]] [[Taluka]], is partially funded and accountable to authorities in nearby [[Bhuj]] City.

The main religion of the villagers is [[Hinduism]], [[Swaminarayan Sampraday]]. Nearby villages include Manukwa, Naranpur, Sukhpur, and [[Samatra]].

The village mainly consists of farmland on the outskirts, with many residential homes, along with two bank branches and a girls' school.

Many residents have emigrated to the [[United Kingdom]] in London or Bolton, and some have to Kenya.

Bharasar is one of the 24 villages/ghaams that have formed the Shree Kutch Leva Patel Community (SKLPC).

== History ==
Within the area is the ancient Harappan Dam of Bharasar, which is the area of the origin of the tributary of the river Zadko from the hills of Khatrod Lanki area near hills of Bharasar.

Originally, Haraappan Dam was 500 meters south. Actual overflow of the water from the dam was collected by a small reservoir near the old Bharasar (Harappan time - 2000BC). It was called Bhara Sar, which refers to Sarovar, suggesting a lake was located there. Later, Maharao shri Bharmalji resettled the Village, and it was called a new name, Bhara Sar.

Overflow of dam water from the reservoir was utilised for irrigation in the lower area by means of ground water channels cut in the stones of the grounds. When required, the necessary water was acquired from the original dam above the level of the big dam, the actual Harappan dam.
