Chhattisgarh, a state in central India, is home to a rich tapestry of indigenous tribes. These tribes, such as the Gonds, Bhils, Baigas, and Maria, have distinct cultural traditions, languages, and lifestyles deeply connected to the region's forests and hills. Despite facing challenges like land displacement and encroachment on their traditional territories, these tribes continue to maintain their unique identities, practicing traditional crafts, music, dance, and agricultural techniques.
