A drive through a dense forest stretch lined with aged trees on Telangana’s Kamareddy-Banswada two-lane road, about 125 km from the State capital of Hyderabad, leads to a lively community living in small thandas (hamlets) in Gandhari mandal.
At first glance, visitors are often surprised by the distinctive attire worn by the men and women here — strikingly different from others living in the area. Meet the Kaithi Lambadas, a vegetarian community of animal grazers who sustain themselves through agriculture.
