Mochi are a sub-caste of the
Ravidasi sect. Most are involved in their traditional occupation of shoemaking.[citation needed

Although the Sikh Mochi practice endogamy and clan exogamy, there are occasional cases of intermarriage with the Chamar community. Their clans, referred to as gots from the Sanskrit gotra, include the Biswan, Sinh and Suman Mochi.[citation needed]
