People of Gadaba-containing native populations inhabit highlands in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Their resourceful lifestyle and craftsmanship using locally available raw materials can rival these. For example, the Itang Chhatna stands out as an excelling finely crafted bamboo basket designed to serve many household purposes among their traditional household items.
The Itang Chhatna is a circular basket painstakingly made from bamboo strips. Generally, it is yellow in color, giving it a visual brightening value, and represents the earthy nature that the Gadaba seem to love. The basket contains a circular opening which is wider at the top than at the bottom creating the broad mouth design suitable for storage and easy access to household items.
Basically, it adopts a single weaving technique where the warp winds itself continuously around the basket making a compact, uniform framework; the weft consists of flat bamboo strips tightly woven to grant durability and strength. The base of the basket is almost flat, allowing it to lie stable on the ground which is especially useful in a domestic scenario.

However, the basket facilitates the storing of grains, vegetables, and household items. It stands out and portrays the Gadaba tribe's form of sustainable living. It distinguishes between an object with practical use but also a carrier of their traditional knowledge and aesthetic sensibility.
