The Jamuni (Mahanan:जमुनी) or Nahun (Mahanan: नहुन or Nahuna) people are an ethnic group of Mahana which are a member of the Mardri ethnic family that includes the Sheshtri ethnic group. They, much like the Sheshtri peoples, originate from the Khaddic Empire of the 1100s making them a Khaddic ethnic group.
The Jamuni are notable for their architectural influence, being known as the founders of the modern Mahanan architecture, as well as their cuisine.
