Gonds of Adilabad, have their ways of expression and living, they have their psychological and spiritual reasons behind why they keep doing what they do. They never looked for a reason to escape or discard what they have been doing until now, whatever they do seems to flow naturally to them. If we read or research about their festival Nagoba Jatara, we can see in them a true surrender to their commitments and beliefs. Inspite of every hardship, they make sure that their ritual breathes life. On one side there is an importance attached to their ritual, and on the other side, there is a theatricality to actions they exhibit during the process. In this paper, we try to research the connection between their ritual and theatre. Of all the activities that they do in Nagoba Jatara, only a section is taken here for study and applied to the Whole.
