Chilka (Devanagari: चिलका) or chalka is a gotra of Jats found in Jaipur, Sikar and Jhunjhunu districts of Rajasthan, India. 'Chilka' is a Rajasthani language word, which means 'Shining'. These people were fair in colour with a typical signing on their faces. So these people were known as Chilka in Rajasthan. [1]
