Nishadha (Sanskrit: निषाध niṣādha) was an indigenous tribe inhabiting ancient India, according to sources in Hindu mythology. The Nishadha people have been described in Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Description in Ramayana

The main profession of Nishaadas was hunting the birds. When a Nishaada had killed one bird from a pair, the other bird was crying, and that inspired Valmiki to write the true story of Rama and Sita known as Ramayana. In Ramayana, the king of Nishaadas, named Guha, was a very close friend of Rama. He helps Rama and Sita to cross Ganges river.

Description in Mahabharata

The Mahabharata speaks of Nishaada (or Shabara) as forest hunters.

Music

In Indian music, Nishada is the seventh note (swara) of the octave.
