Abstract India is a country defined by vast cultural variation. Within this diversity, tribal communities have successfully maintained their unique cultural identities. India’s demographic blend includes populations living in urban, rural, and tribal areas. Many Adivasi (tribal) groups are found across India, each possessing distinct lifestyles and occupations. These tribes, often seen as symbols of self-assertion, comprise approximately 8.2% of the national population. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the level of knowledge tribal women have regarding their Gond community, trace their cultural awareness, and analyze their understanding of traditional festivals. For this research, 111 samples were selected from Arattondi village in the Kurkheda district. Language, traditional costumes, festivals, and rituals play a vital role in the lives of Gond women. The status of tribal women is largely judged by the roles they fulfill in society. This paper also presents empirical data on the nature of tribal populations in the village, noting that nuclear families formed through monogamy are the most common family structure in these Indian tribal communities.
