Costumes of east indian tribes
1. 1
East India is a portion comprising the states
of West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand.
The diversity of East India is evident from its
population, individual count and of course the
intellectual stamina of the people residing in
this region. An even more wondrous fact that
can be given is that each state is vastly and
distinctly different from each other, with
novelty in the spheres of cuisine, costume,
culture, education, entertainment, forests,
ways of living, economy and travel. When
leaving aside the metropolitan population and
city living, tribal living in east India is
somewhat common in some spheres of
culture and entertainment. East Indian tribes
come to a significant numbering count under
the vast section of Indian tribes. This fact has
received national as well as vast international
recognition in the past several decades.
Kharia Tribe
Baiga Tribe
Kalinga Tribe
Banjara Tribe
Santhal Tribe
Munda Tribe •
Bhumij Tribe •
Magh Tribe
Asur Tribe
Karmali Tribe
The Kharia tribes have occupied a major
portion of the rugged slopes of Ranchi,
Lohardaga and the furrowed incline of west
and east Singhbhum and Hazaribagh of the
Jharkhand. Although the Kharia tribes have
mainly concentrated in Jharkhand, yet they
can also be found in Orissa and West Bengall
in little number. Being a part of the `Proto-
Austroloid` family group, the language of the
Kharia tribes are known as Kharia language.
These Kharia tribes also speak languages
like Sadani, Hindi language and few other
dialects that have originated locally. As per
the ancient history of the Kharias, they are
the descendants of Nagvanshi Raja, Munda.
Occupation
The major source of livelihood for this Kharia
tribe is agriculture. Some of them also
depend on small forest products like roots,
seeds, flowers, edible herbs, leaves, fruits,
wax, honey, etc. Instances are also not rare
when these Kharia tribes adapt to labor
works. Fishing, hunting as well as animal
husbandry is exercised as supplementary
occupations. They cultivate Bari crops like
marua, maize, vegetables and bean etc.
Their lands are of two types namely Tanr land
and Don land. They cultivate Til, Arahar,
Kurathi, Tisi etc. along with Vadai crops in
Tanr land and paddy in the Don land. They
practice wet cultivation to cultivate Rabi crops
like Masuri, Chana, Khesari etc. Apart from
these the Kharia people also grow brinjal,
lady`s finger, tomato, bean, potato, peas etc.
in their lands.
Houses
The houses of the Kharias are built with mud,
wood, bamboo, straw, Khar grass and rope.
There is no window in those houses and are
of rectangular shape. Doors are made with
wood and iron. Some of the people of this
tribal community build pigsty and cattle shed
for domestic animals.
2. 2
Costime
The costumes of the male groups of this
Kharia tribe includes shirt, ganji, pants, half
Dhoti, Kurta and Gamachha. The female
groups of this community wear salwar-suits,
frock, Jhula, Saree, Sata. Ornaments are
highly sought after in their community and the
women wear earrings, nose rings, necklaces,
metal hair pins, wristlets, rings, anklets etc
are some of their favourite ornaments. They
use seed, shell, bronze, thread, brass, nickel,
silver, gold and silver imitation as the metals
of their jewelleries.
Festival
Several religious ceremonies are feted where
almost all the Kharia tribes revere the Giring
or Bero. Burha Burhi or Marsi Masan is the
progenitor of Kharia tribes whom also these
Kharia tribes worship and also are respected.
Their religion is a blend of the beliefs and
rituals of Hinduism, tribalism and Christianity.
They worship the deities of Nag Deo, Jal
Deo, Gram Deo, Dharati Mai, Burn Deo,
Thakur Deo, Fire God, Burha-Burhi Deo etc.
and the spirits. the Kharia tribes, a lot of local
festivals and occasions are also celebrated
by the people of the tribal community. Just
like other tribes of the region, these Kharia
tribes celebrate festivals like Karma, Sohrai,
Sarhul, Nawakhani, Ramnawami, Dussehra,
Diwali etc. Dance and music are an important
part of their festivals and occasions. They use
Kartal, Dol, Nagara, flute etc during their
musical performances. During their tribal
dance whistling and clapping also serve as
rhythmic tune.
Baiga tribe is a primitive Dravidian tribe.
Baiga tribes are located in the states of Bihar,
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, and
West Bengal. They are scattered over the
hilly forest provinces of India including
Shahdol, Bilaspur, Rajnandgaon, Mandla,
and Balaghat. As far as the origin of the
Baiga tribes is concerned, they have got a
rich history behind it. Baiga tribes belong to
the Dravidian groups and are one of the
ancient tribes of the central India including
Madhya Pradesh. In the regions of Mandla
and Balaghat, Binjhwar sub-caste is
considered as the civilised sub-division of
Baiga tribe. Bhainas are another off-shoot of
Baiga tribe.
Occupation
The Baiga tribes practice shifting cultivation in
forest areas. They say they never ploughed
the Earth, because it would be like scratching
the breast of their Mother, and how could
they possibly ask Mother to produce food
from the same patch of earth time and time
again – she would have become weakened.
That‟s why Baigas used to lived a semi-
nomadic life, and practiced Bewar cultivation
(slash & burn) – out of respect, not
aggression. Until fairly recently the Baigas
practiced 'dahiya' cultivation, that is, slash
and burn.
Language
It is believed that the ancestors of the Baigas
spoke an Austroasiatic language, however no
trace of it is left now. Some Baigas
(specifically those from the Mandla district)
have mentioned "Baigani" as their mother
tongue in the past: Baigani is now recognized
as a variety of Chhattisgarhi influenced
by Gondi and Western Hindi. Most Baigas
communicate with outsiders in Hindi, and
some of them also know Gondi
or Marathi depending on the region they live
in.
3. 3
Tattoo
There are different tattoos for different parts
of the body and these tattoos are also inked
at different times of their lives. „Chati Godai‟
means tattooing on the chest which can be
done any time after marriage. The tattoos
extend from the elbows to the finger tips. It
takes 20 to 25 years for the completion of all
the tattoos prescribed. In the whole process
of stretching the identity of their tribes on their
bodies, the most attractive items are the 10 to
12 long pointed needles which pierce the
skin. The process involves the use of a
prominent grape of this area. It gives out
carbon which is collected when the seeds are
burnt. This is collected in small boxes. And
after liquidation it is ready to be used as the
ink to draw the pictures with a thin bamboo
stick. After the outlining, the inking starts. The
Godhna (the tattoos) prepares the girl of the
pains of becoming a mother. This pain gives
her the strength to face all the different
challenges in her life. Second, it is their clan
identity. And thirdly they consider Godhna to
be the only earthly impression to accompany
them in the life after death.
Costume
Due to long hours in the Sun and outdoors,
the skin of the Baigas is dark. The men and
women get their hair cut once in a life time. If
a Baiga is asked why he does not clip his
hair, his instant response with immense pride
is that it is a Baiga tradition. This tribe wears
very few clothes. The men usually wear a
„fatka‟ to cover their private parts. This „fatka‟
is very similar to the loin cloth used for the
dhoti of the Gonds. Women wear a sari which
covers their body but their blouses are short
and chest hugging. It is evident from this that
their style of clothing is simple and hassle
free. Some of the Baigas tie a cloth around
their head which looks similar to a turban.
Religion
he Gond people do not believe that they are
Hindu. They also have Ramayana as one of
their epics and the characters and story is
similar to the one written by Sant Valmiki.
However, the language in which it is written is
different. They worship „Bahadeo‟ that is Lord
Shankar.
The Kalingas as a tribe are almost always
associated with the Angas and Vangas in
ancient Indian literature. These three tribes
along with the Pundras and Suhmas are said
to have been named after the five sons of
Bali, Anga, Vanga, Kalinga, Pundra and
Suhtna who were called Baleya Kshatra and
also Baleya Brahmanas. These five tribes
evidently then lived conterminously and had
their distinct entities within respective
geographical boundaries to which they gave
the names of their respective tribes. In the
Markandeya Purana it has been mentioned
that a Kalinga tribe had their settlement on
the Satadru. In many of the Puranas Kalingas
have been described as people of the
southern region. It has been said that they
dwelt in the southern region along with the
Maharastras, Mahisakas, Abhiras, Vaisikyas,
