Culture and Lifestyle of Tribes in Maharashtra

• Most of Maharashtra's present population is made up of Marathas and Kunbis, who are descended from northern settlers who came to the region around the beginning of the first century CE. The diversity of religions in Maharashtra is representative of India as a whole.
• According to the 1991 census, around 73.18 lakh people in Maharashtra are nomadic tribes. They are widely dispersed, primarily on hillsides.
• The main tribes in Maharashtra are the Bhil, Gond-Madia, Katkari, Koli, Oraon, and Warli. The great majority of the tribes in Maharashtra still adhere to outdated beliefs. People live in villages and travel around in caravans in search of work and make a living.
• They have a strong cultural heritage that sets them apart from other social groups, as evidenced by their attire, accent, folklore customs, and behaviors. Ancient customs like various types of worshiping nature, offering animals as sacrifices during religious events, and decorating heads with horns are still followed today.
• These Maharashtra tribes are illiterate and constantly on the move, which makes it hard for them to survive.
