The Bhoi (also known as Bauri) is an ethnic community found in Odisha who speak the Odia language. They are classified as a Scheduled Caste (SC) according to Reservation system of India, and were historically subjected to untouchability.[1][2] Traditionally, they are blowers of conch shells (Shankha) in Hindu rituals, and work as agricultural labourers.[3][4]

In Gujarat, their traditional occupations include acting as palanquin-bearers.[5]

The Bhoi are also found in Assam.[6]

"Bhoi" or "Bhoimul" was also a functional title provided to writers of Odisha belonging to Karan community.[7]
