The Meena is a tribe found in the Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh regions of India. Its name is also transliterated as Meenanda or Mina. The Meenas claim connection to the Matsya avatar of Vishnu, and the ancient Matsya Kingdom. They celebrate Meenesh Jayanti in the name of Vishnu on the third day of the Chaitra month's Shukla paksha.
