The Karak clan of South Korea traces its ancestry to the Indian Princess Suriratna, who came to Korea in 48 AD, married King Kim Suro and is renowned in Korea as Queen Huh Hwang-ok. This clan has surnames like Kim and Huh/ Hoon. Queen Huh was born in Ayodhya.
On the 6th March 2001 the Karak Clan Society built a monument at Ayodhya in cooperation with the state government of Uttar Pradesh. Since then its members, and often Government officials from Gimhae City (South Korea), have visited the site every March to celebrate the Queen’s anniversary. Often a traditional Korean dancing team has participated in the ceremony.
