Lodha are an independent caste among poor farmers. They are good at growing crops, quiet and hardworking. The Jariya are one of the Lodha subgroups. Lodha Jariya are traditionally farm workers, growing crops of wheat and lentils. Economically speaking, their main resource is the land. Lodha Jariya boys and girls both get an education; however, they don't encourage women to further their studies. Their diet is traditionally vegetarian, which reflects both their Hindu background and agrarian lifestyle. They are becoming more likely to include meat in their diet.

With a large population in northern and central India, there may be no Christ followers among this Lodha subgroup. They speak Hindi, but few Hindi speakers are Christian believers.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will be working in many Lodha Jariya and cause them to seek out the truth.
Pray that these people for whom Christ laid down his life will humble themselves and come to trust in him as little children.
Pray for a movement among this people group that will result in many churches reproducing themselves within this people group.
Pray for workers anointed by the Holy Spirit to live among and minister to them.
