Food is more than just sustenance for tribal communities; it is sacred and divine, and a gift from the creator. It is an important aspect of their identity, and accepting their food is a way of accepting them. In tribal culture and tradition, food is harvested, cooked, and eaten with respect. Traditional methods of cooking and preserving food are still used, and the knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.
For tribal communities, food is not just a commodity to be bought and sold; it is a way of life. It is a symbol of their connection to the land and the natural world. The Eklavya Food Fair celebrates this connection by showcasing traditional tribal foods and cooking methods. Visitors to the fair can learn about the importance of food in tribal culture and tradition and taste the delicious dishes that are prepared with love and respect. By participating in the Eklavya Food Fair, we could gain a deeper appreciation for the role that food plays in our lives and the lives of others.
You can have some glimpses of the delicacies, our members brought to the fair.
