This lady is a member of the Ramnami samaj(community), in Chhattisgarh, India. To protest the profound discrimination they faced as members of the Dalit caste, some members of the Ramnami community tattooed the name of the Hindu god Ram on their faces, and may cover the entire bodies. This tattooing was also a way to practice their religion as Dalits were barred from entering temples due to their “untouchable” status.Later this way of protest has become the identity of Ramnami samaj.
