Dhiman or Dhimaan (धीमान्/धीमत्; Knowledgable, Wise, Sensible, Intelligent) is a Hindu caste. The name 'Dhiman' is derived from two Sanskrit words: Dhi (धी), meaning 'mind,' and man (मान), meaning 'value.' Members of this caste are primarily descended from Brahmins and are considered a subgroup of the Vishwakarma community. They predominantly speak Hindi and Punjabi.
History and Origin
[edit]The Dhiman community is predominantly found in the states of Delhi, Haryana, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. They trace their lineage primarily to Brahmins and have traditionally been associated with professions such as engineering, architecture, teaching, and agriculture. There are numerous Vedic references to this term in the ancient texts. Given their strong association with engineering, architecture, and agriculture, the Dhiman community venerates Vishwakarma, the Hindu deity of architecture and engineering, as their Ishta-deva (chosen deity)

- Manusmriti Chapter 1, Stanza 102
तस्य कर्म विवेकार्य शेषाणामतु पूर्वश:। स्वयम्भूवो मनु धींमान् इदं शास्त्रमकल्पयतू। अर्थात- ब्राह्मणों के कर्म का विचार करने के निमित्त और शेष क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, शूद्र आदिके भी कर्म करने का विचार करने के निमित्त ब्रह्माजी के पौत्र धीमान स्वयंभूव मनु जी ने मनुस्मृति शास्त्र को रचा है।

Present circumstances
[edit]Like other Brahmin communities, they consist of gotras which are exogamous. There are around 47 gotras in the Dhiman caste. Most of them are spread all over North India and practice shilp-shastra and Vastu Shastras. The community is moving very highly in society in both business and education. They are strict vegetarians.
