A focused population profile of Tharu, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Tharu is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Tharu with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Tharu.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Tharu is Nepali (Tharu Profile). Other nearby references include Kusunda, Nepali (Newar Profile), Nepali (Mixed Himalayan Profile), and Manipuri Brahmin. This gives the Tharu profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Tharu average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Tharu profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Tharu average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Nepali (Tharu Profile). Other nearby references include Kusunda, Nepali (Newar Profile), Nepali (Mixed Himalayan Profile), and Manipuri Brahmin.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Nepali (Tharu Profile) is the closest listed match to the Tharu average after removing Tharu itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Tharu G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
