The Gonds
The Gonds lived in a vast forested region known as Gondwana and they practised shifting cultivation. The large Gond tribe was divided into many other smaller clans and were built near a mountain or river which were later fortified with dense forests. Of each large Gond tribe was divided and had different raja or rai.
A few large Gond kingdoms were beginning to dominate the smaller Gond chiefs about the time when Delhi Sultans were declining. Garha Katanha, a rich state with about 70,000 villages, was mentioned in Akbar Nama. It was the rich state that has earned huge amount of wealth by trapping and selling elephants. It had a large booty of precious coins.

Religious Beliefs
Like most other tribes in India, even the Gonds believe in a greater God or “Bhagawan”. They have a specific tribal name which is “Bara Deo”. But they rarely worship Him. Instead, there are other gods and goddesses in their belief system that represent natural features. So according to the Gonds, every hill, river, lake tree etc has a spirit.
The Gonds also have a lot of respect for the village priest. This village priest is appointed mostly according to heredity and done by the village council. He performs all the ceremonies and sacrifices in the village.
