Lohar dianggap sebagai satu kasta di kalangan Hindu dan klan di kalangan Muslim dan Sikh di negeri Uttar Pradesh dan Jharkhand, India, serta di Nepal.Bhattachan included the Lohar among the Madhesi Dalit in his report on minorities in Nepal, listing some 82,000. In Annex I, Bhattarai lists the Lohar as iron-workers under the Madhesi as 0.36% of the Nepalese population.  Mereka secara tradisional membentuk kasta-kasta artisan. Penulis zaman Raj sering menggunakan istilah Lohar sebagai sinonim bagi tukang besi, walaupun terdapat komuniti tukang besi tradisional lain, seperti Ramgarhia dan Sikligar, serta pelbagai komuniti bukan tradisional, termasuk Kayastha, Rajput, dan Brahmin.
