Lona Chamarin was a tantric[1], who belonged to the folk traditions[2] of northern India, particularly in parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. She is known primarily through oral narratives, regional songs, and local storytelling traditions rather than written historical sources.
The name "Chamarin" denotes an association with the Chamar community, a historically marginalized community within the Indian caste system. In folklore, Lona Chamarin is often portrayed as a woman[3] who suffered injustice or social oppression.
