Steeped in myth and mystery that surround their ways of lives , the tribes of Odisha continue to be a source of interest not only to social anthropologists and sociologist but also for the lay visitors visiting the state. With 62 distinct tribal groups constituting 25 % of the total population, occupying nearly one third of the habitable area, the tribes of Odisha are the most colourful people. The most important tribes are the Kandhas, Bondas, Koyas, Sauras, Gadabas, Gondas, Ho, Santhlas, Mundas and Juangas.
Each tribe has its own art, architecture , music, dance , beaded and feather jewellery and rich sociocultural traits. Though these tribes live in almost all the districts , yet most of them inhabit the forest areas of Kandhamal , Koraput, Rayagada, Malkangiri , Mayurbhanja and Keonjhar districts.The Tribal Museum in Bhubaneswar provides a glimpse into the life style and culture of different tribal communities.
