# Raj Gonds. \[motion picture\]

Produced by the BBC

Examines the customs of the Raj Gonds, once a rich and powerful people who ruled a large area in central India, but who now live on rented land as a tribal group outside the mainstream of Indian life. Focuses on their annual festival of Dandari in which they cover themselves with dust and ashes and take a bemused and self-deprecating look at their present low status, and poke fun at landlords, gods, and bridgegrooms
