Dangaria Tribe or Dongria Tribe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangaria_Kandha

They are the most primitive tribe about 70,000 years old located on the Niyamgiri Hills.

The Dongria Kondh derive their name from - "Dongar" meaning -  "Agricultural land on hill"
"Jharnia" means - "Protector of streams and nature" 
Hence the name - "Dongria Kondh"




They speak a language called - Kui and worship  Niyamgiri Hills , river streams , rocks and nature.
Bengal tigers live on Niyamgiri Hills.
The tribe rely on the hills for farming , spiritual practices and more.



A glimpse of the tribe,
Their life revolve around Niyamgiri hills , to the base of the hills they travel down every Wednesday to sell the fruits and vegetables they grow on the hills.












Their lives revolves around Niyamgiri Hills






We believe that these tribal are primitive and we are far more advanced , but do you know they travel long distance from the top of the hill by walk and not get lost without any Google Maps - they also navigate through seas and rivers with the complete knowledge of sea currents and stars. They conserve all resources and are the protectors of the forest and we who are advanced have been destroying the nature for selfish motives.



My head is cut .


Close up .








A knife on their hair at the back for safety .










Lets visit their home.










I was made to feel extremely welcome into their homes.
I carried some biscuits, lays and chocolates for the tribal kids.


They practice basket weaving.



They live in the remote forest of Niyamgiri hills .
The British Corporation Vedanta Resources made a proposal to India to mine Niyamgiri hills for Bauxite which was being rejected by Indian Government .


As known they are nearly dirty and unclean so i decided to keep distance and not go so close , but these tribes - they trust me so much that the minute i go a little closer to them , they get attached to me and their is that feeling of pure energy and you forget how dirty they were. LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFUL ENERGY IN THE UNIVERSE.

In the city urban areas there are suicides and murder that are reported every day , but here in the middle of nature , people love and care for each other including strangers .
Love is the energy.

Iam honored and privileged to get a picture with them .













Cho chweet and they loved my Biscuits.
Nature's own children - very innocent and loving .
In history they had a name called - Dalits / Untouchables - BUT THEY ARE SO KISSABLE .



Lets head to market that is open whole day




























Me time with Nature.
Authentic experience to see , feel , hear and smell nature.



Feeling my way towards the nature , you have to invest your energy into those things and space where it is nurtured and where it is able to GROW.
In the materialistic world energy will never grow , only survival will be the focus.

Just like how the green crops here are thriving in the direction where there is more sunlight , we need to grow where we can , where our energy is nurtured and respected.

Put your energy in harmony with the energy of universe and experience the magic of universe.



If you can feel the energy of sky and mountains, you can lift the sky  and mountains with your hands. Exploring the wonderful energy of sky and the mountains.
Lift your hands up and try to feel the energy of the sky , try this for a month and with in one month iam sure you will be able to feel the energy of sky and will be able to lift the sky.



Connecting with the nature , when you feel the force of nature NO MAN CAN HARM YOU
If you place too much importance on nervous system and intelligence of brain you can never be able to feel the higher power-Energy .
From my past experience i have seen that people who dont have brains are actually the ones who place greater importance to nervous system.
Placing too much importance on material will prevent us from uniting with mother nature .

Let me repeat from my past post - "Anything related to survival is not TRUTH"
As young as 27 years , a female software engineer who has 4 years of experience who i met somewhere told me once -
 "I know how to survive in IT Industry"
So if the younger generation is this  , iam not sure how will the future of India look like.




The sun - the divine love that sun provides us is unconditional and not diluted with expectations.
Everything on this universe including mountains , trees , flowers , grass , is ENERGY 

Do you know a sunflower faces towards east in the morning when they begin their day and then swing west in the evening . It changes it direction and invest its energy into a space where there is more sunlight and possibility of growth. Flowers too have energy.

Have you missed watching sunset. Awareness is the capability of detecting things that go unnoticed. Sunset has so much energy which we could acquire from.

Awareness is the first rule of self defense , you actively use all your senses to its maximum potential to detect things that go unnoticed. You dont need to build  body for self defense , all you need is ENERGY FLOW in the right direction for which you need to detect , feel , see and  hear the unnoticed.

Believe in yourself.




We are not separate from any element of the universe .
The internal energy can link mind , heart and body and bring balance and co-ordination in life.

Your internal energy is connected to earth/nature at every moment.
Be in Synchronization with nature and experience the grandeur of nature / universe.


My next post is about Bonda Tribe.


We will explore "Malkangiri" Odisha - "The Naxalite controlled area" of course with the help of Indian Army.
