The Bonda are an Indian tribal group which lives in the isolated hill regions of the Malkangiri district of Orissa. Their culture has changed little over the time. Although now sometimes you can see western style garments on men and children. Most Binda, however, continue to wear traditional clothing. The women wear metal neck-bands and bracelets and cover the breast only with beads necklaces. The photograph here shows women and children on the way to the weekly market that takes place in the village of Onukudelli.
