Abstract

The Juang culture within the tribal communities of Odisha is a rich tapestry of traditions, rituals, and customs that reflect the unique identity and heritage of the Juang people. This abstract delves into an exploration of the socio cultural aspects shaping the Juang community, offering insights into their lifestyle, belief systems, and interactions with the natural environment. The Juang tribes, predominantly residing in the hilly regions of Odisha, exhibit a close relationship with nature, relying on traditional agricultural practices and sustainable resource utilization. This paper highlights the significance of their traditional knowledge in agriculture, showcasing how it intertwines with their cultural expressions. Rituals and ceremonies, deeply rooted in their belief systems, play a pivotal role in shaping social cohesion and identity within the Juang community. Furthermore, the paper examines the impact of external influences and modernization on Juang culture. As globalization and development initiatives reach these remote areas, the paper reflects on how these changes may pose challenges to the preservation of the Juang heritage. It also explores the strategies employed by the Juang people to navigate this delicate balance between tradition and adaptation. Ultimately, this paper aims to provide a glimpse into the nuanced and dynamic world of Juang culture, shedding light on the cultural resilience and adaptation strategies employed by this tribal community in the face of evolving socio economic landscapes. Through this exploration, it contributes to a broader understanding of the diversity and vibrancy of indigenous cultures in Odisha.
