Madai Festival

The Madai festival, held at various tribal hamlets of the state, is especially dear to the people belonging to the Gond community. This festival takes place in the third or fourth week of February. Though it is a gala event, marked by singing and dancing, yet the religious overtone of the festival remains evident. During Madai, devotees assemble under the shade of a sacred tree and make sacrificial offerings, in the form of a goat, to the Mother Goddess. During the night, the tribal people gloat and make merry.
