Tribes women dressed up in colorful saris perform indigenous folk dance as they follow worshippers to a sacred grove believed to be the home of the village goddess, in village Guduta, in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, October 21, 2022. India's 110 million indigenous tribespeople scattered across various states and fragmented into hundreds of clans, with different legends, different languages and different words for their gods adhere to Sarna Dharma – a faith not officially recognized by the government. It is a belief system that shares common threads with the world's many ancient nature-worshipping religions. (Photo by Altaf Qadri/AP Photo)
