The Uśīnaras lived in the northernmost part of the Madhya-deśa, with the Uśīnara-giri ("Uśīnara mountain") being located near Kanakhala.[1]
The Uśīnaras, as well as the neighbouring Kekaya and Madraka tribes, were descended from the Ṛgvedic Anu tribe which lived near the Paruṣṇī river in the central Punjab region.[2]
A queen of Uśīnara, named Uśīnarāṇī, is mentioned in the Ṛgveda.[1]
The Uśīnaras appear in epic Hindu literature, especially in the Rāmāyaṇa and the Mahābhārata.
