Introduction / History
The Jangam Mala are also known as Jangam or Jangama. This low caste community lives in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.

What are their lives like?
The Jangam Mala have a number of occupations. Along with agriculture they can also be weavers or leather workers. Some serve as priests in temples devoted to Shiva, the Hindu goddess of destruction.

They sometimes face discrimination and poverty, so the Indian government is trying to help them through affirmative action programs, but these efforts are far from complete.

What are their beliefs?
They are historically associated with the Shaiva Hindu tradition and are considered to be devotees of Lord Shiva.

What are their needs?
They need the Holy Spirit to open their eyes so they can see Jesus as he is.
