The Gadaba tribe, dwelling mostly in the hilly parts of eastern India Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, is one of the oldest and brightest indigenous tribes in India. Their contact with nature appears to be very close, and they seem to be very good at using woodworking tools and implement. They produce a number of useful items from nature. This is one out of many items they make: the Chongra, a traditional bamboo basket which is much seen in agricultural activities. The Chongra is an exceptionally well-made basket because it has an odd form. It has an upper circular opening and a squarish bottom shape that makes it a very stable form for carriage of produce. At the bottom of this basket, four specific projections have been entered into the design so as to bring support and balance while it is sitting on the ground. With respect to unique weaving methods employed in making this particular type of basket, the Chongra has similar distinctions. The edge of the basket where the two surfaces come together demonstrates the features of plaiting or braiding, that is, giving strength and ornamentation. While both inner and outer surfaces show very similar mat-type weaving patterns when compared to the rim, it means that the basket is flexible and pretty durable but lighter in nature as well. This kind of dual-weaving not only adds to the functionality of the basket but also indicates an appreciation of aesthetics by the artisans of Gadaba. The Chongra, primarily used for harvesting and then for transporting either grains or produce, testifies to the sustainable practices and vast wisdom in bamboo craftsmanship among the Gadaba tribes.
