CHOTTA UDAIPUR

One of India’s most picturesque tribal regions, Chotta Udaipur has a number of hamlets of the Bhils, Ratwas and other tribals, and handicrafts like pottery, arrow crafting, bow making, pithora wall paintings etc.

During the week of Holi, the villages around Chotta Udaipur are the site for some really ethnic and splendidly colourful fairs attracting tribals in numbers beyond comprehension. The fairs are a celebration of the harvest with markets selling produce, brilliant tribal dances, haunting music and atheletic feats like the pyramidical formations of tribal men. The best place to see these celebrations are the village of Kawant, some distance from Chotta Udaipur township.
