Baiga tribes

The Baiga are an indigenous tribal community primarily found in central India, notably in states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. They have a rich cultural heritage, including unique traditions, rituals, and traditional knowledge related to forestry and medicine. Traditionally, many Baiga practice shifting cultivation and rely on forest resources for their livelihood. They maintain distinct social customs and speak their own dialects. Despite modern challenges, efforts are ongoing to preserve their cultural identity and improve their socioeconomic status.
