Raj Gonds

Explains that the Raj Gonds were once a rich and powerful people in Central India, but now live as a tribal group outside the mainstream of Indian life on land owned by landlords. Portrays their annual festival of Dandari in which they cover themselves in dust and ashes and take a bemused and self-deprecating look at their present low status, as landlords, Gods and bridegrooms are all made fun of.
