Mapping India’s indigenous tigers- the tiger as seen by indigenous communities living with them in various parts of the country for ages. From names and relations to festivals and folk dances like Huliyappana Jatre (Karnataka), Wagh-baras (Maharashtra), Pili Vesha (Karnataka), Bagha Nacha (Odisha), Puli Kali (Kerala) and many more that have never been documented, India’s rich legacy of native beliefs and practices are an outcome of generations of coexistence, sincere observations and deep understanding of tigers, that have guided and can guide a much more balanced and practical approach to 'conservation' today.
