Ramnami Community Tattoos Ram's Name as Temple Exclusion Protest
The Ramnami community in Chhattisgarh tattoos the name of Ram on their bodies as a devotional act, originating over a century ago to counter caste-based temple exclusion. This full-body tattoo tradition is declining among younger generations due to modern challenges, though smaller tattoos honoring Ram remain common.
