Subject: Raw Cloth for Dongria Scarf. A half woven traditional Dongria Kondh shawl that is embroidered on the cloth by a needle using threads. The Dongria tribe believes that red, green and yellow are the most auspicious colors. The off-white coarse cloth used as the base is procured from Dombs, a local Scheduled Caste community, by bartering harvested crops.
