Baiga

This volume, a collaboration with The Tribal Fund for Documentation and Conservation, explores the cultural life of the Baiga tribal community, residing in the dense Sal forests of central India, in parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh. For ages, the life of the Baiga has revolved around the forest. This deeply engaged symbiotic relationship has often led them to be called ‘forest people.’ The coffee table book, with stunning photography by Anubhav Das, not only looks at the dramatic landscape—both natural and cultural—of the region, but presents striking and vivid portraits of the people of Baiga Chak.
