Castes and Tribes of Southern India/Lohana

by Edgar Thurston

Lohana.— Immigrant traders from the Bombay Presidency. "They state that they take their name from the port of Loha in Sindh, but Burton says that they came from Lohānpur near Multān, and that they were driven south by the Muhammadans. They reverence the Daria Pīr, or the Indus spirit."*^[1]
