Banjara tribe

The Banjara tribe, also known as Gonds or Lambadis, is a nomadic community primarily found in India, recognized for their vibrant culture and distinctive attire. Traditionally, they were involved in occupations like trading, animal herding, and transportation. They have a rich oral history, music, dance, and festivals that reflect their nomadic lifestyle. Despite their cultural significance, many Banjara communities face socio-economic challenges, including limited access to education and healthcare. Their identity continues to evolve as they settle more permanently, yet they remain proud of their unique traditions and history within Indian society.
