The Gadabas are a unique aboriginal race located in the Eastern Ghats of Odisha, with a culture and tradition known for its bamboo crafts. Above all, there is the yellow bamboo basket that is a common article of everyday use, particularly important with reference to agricultural use. An article made of split bamboo, it is uniformly rounded and of moderate size. Of so very attractive colors-mostly yellow. The yellow bamboo basket is made by such a technique, wherein weaving consists of warping all along the body and flat bamboo strips for the weft this specific technique will thus not only enhance the strength for durability of basket but also will give quite that exclusive aesthetic appeal. Wider mouth of the basket facilitates easy loading/unloading and thus can help unload products like grain, vegetables, or harvested crops. The design is so wonderfully conceived and meaningful because it provides an outlet for air circulation in safe storage for any agricultural produce.
Gadaba Hills are very near to the land and then depend primarily on agriculture for their living. The uses of these bamboo baskets are more extensions of most everyday home or farm activities, such as carrying, storing, or transporting random numbers of farm products. Bamboo is renewable and abundantly available, and symbolizes the very art of sustaining a beautiful relationship between the tribe and nature surrounding it. Thus, through this, the yellow bamboo agricultural basket of Gadaba tribe is not only used in agriculture but stands as a symbol of their craftsmanship and culture towards demanding sustainable use of natural resources.
