Gondi storytelling
Gondi storytelling is a traditional oral art form practiced by the Gondi people of central India. It involves using vivid narration, song, dance, and sometimes puppetry to pass down myths, history, morals, and cultural values. These stories are often shared during community gatherings, festivals, or rituals, serving to strengthen social bonds and preserve Gondi heritage. Because it relies on memory and live performance, Gondi storytelling is dynamic and adaptable, helping maintain cultural identity across generations without written records.
