Chada Rural Tourism Destination

Of the 8 ancient human tribes in India that still hold on to their own ancient ways and exhibit primitiveness in the anthropological sense, the Baigas are among the last remaining inhabitants. Baiga tribes belong to the Dravidian race and are also declared as the National Human Tribe.

Their appearance is what differentiates them from the other tribal groups in the District. Their wild and unkempt looks, tattoos among the women, piece of cloth covering the head that serves as a turban and similar dressing pattern all help in making them easily recognizable to even the most unobservant outsider. They are of a delicate and fine physique not generally associated with the other tribal groups in the District. A distingiuishing feature of the Baiga tribe is that their women are famous for sporting tattoos of various kinds on almost all parts of their body.

The characterstics which made the Baiga special namely the cult of magic, bewar or cultivation, ancient customs of medicine their formidable hunting prowess, their famed story telling abilities may have lessened in the new centuries but against all odds, the Baigas have still managed to retain all these characterstics.
