Lokdevta refers to a local deity or folk god worshipped in various regions of India, often representing the hopes, cultural beliefs, and traditions of local communities. These deities are typically associated with nature, agriculture, or specific places and are revered through festivals, rituals, and oral traditions.

Their worship fosters a sense of belonging and continuity within the local population, reflecting the diverse spiritual landscape of India's cultural mosaic.
