The Ramnami religious movement began more than a century ago in India. It began as an act of protest and resistance against the existence of castes and restrictions imposed on the untouchables. The Ramnami cover their bodies with the name RAM. This name is omnipresent in all aspects of a Ramnami's life, present on their clothing, on their stole (Odhani), on their headdress (Mukut). Our photographer met in April 2023 various personalities of the Ramnami community, the president of the community "Set Bai", the secretary "Gularam Ramnami", and other individuals tattooed to varying degrees, which led to the creation of a cultural hierarchy in the community. in fact, some have their entire body covered with tattoos and are called “Sharvang Shareer”.
The tattoos are made with ink obtained from the soot resulting from oil burning. A person from the community is designated to carry out the body tattoos. The Ramnamis use bronze anklet bells (Ghunghuru or Ghungroos). This accessory is worn either on the shoulder or held in the hand to punctuate the “Ram Ram” litanies.

Indeed with education, many pursue higher education, and to avoid certain discrimination during their studies or job searches, they no longer get tattoos or if they do it is on hidden areas of their body.
