The Holar (or Holaya) are a small Dalit community or caste found in Maharashtra and Gujarat states in India. The caste bears some similarities to and is sometimes mistaken with, but not identical to, the Chamar. The Holar engage in leatherworking and sales of horns and hides, and some also keep sheeps and goats. The caste also traditionally provides musicians to the Dhangar caste and even today play at weddings and other festivities.[1]
