About the Item

Bonda people, Orissa, early 20th century The Bonda people are an indigenous tribal group predominantly found in the hilly areas of Malkangiri district in Odisha (Orissa), India. Recognized as one of the oldest and most traditional tribes in the country, they are often regarded as part of the "Adivasi," or the original inhabitants of the region. Bonda women are renowned for their distinctive traditional attire and adornments. They wear a minimal garment called nala around their waist and embellish themselves with heavy jewelry crafted from beads, metal, and coins. Their hair is typically styled into a bun and covered with a beaded headpiece. Bonda men, on the other hand, usually wear a simple loincloth.
