The Dongria Kondh (also known as the Dongria Kondhas) are Indigenous Peoples who inhabit the plateaus of the Niyamgiri hill ranges in Orissa, India.
The Dongria Kondh call themselves “Jharnia” a term that means “those who live by the Jharana” (streams).
Unlike other Indigenous Peoples of India, the Dongria Kondh are accomplished horticulturists, farming on the mountain ranges of Niyamgiri.
