The Mama are a sub-division of the Bhil community found indigenous to the current state of Rajasthan in India.
The sect gets its name from Mama Baleshwar Dayal, who starting preaching to the Bhils of Kushalgarh tehsil of Banswara District.
Most of their settlements are exclusively Kataria, and each of them contains an informal caste association.
This acts as an instrument of social control, punishing those who transgress current community norms.
They are now Hindu and unlike other Bhil groups have lost their ancestral non Brahminical tribal deities.
