Lohana, also referred to as Loharana, Luvana, Lohrana, Lohbana, Lobana, Labana, Lubana, are an Indian caste. Lohanas claim to be descendants of the Luva, son of Rama, and to descend from the Raghuvanshi dynasty. Originally Lohanas were a prominent community of the Kshatriya Rajput caste that originated in the region of Punjab and later on migrated to Sindh and present day Gujarat state in India around 800 years ago. As administrators and rulers, Kshatriya Lohanas were assigned with protecting the people, and serving humanity. Over time, however, as a result of economic and political exigencies, the majority of Lohanas are now mainly engaged in mercantile occupations. Thus there are significant differences between the culture, language, professions and societies of Punjabi Lohanas, Gujarati Lohanas, Sindhi Lohanas, Kutchi Lohanas.
