During the Padyatra, an exhibition space will feature historical tribal movements, tributes to tribal heroes, and displays of the unique artistry and craftsmanship of India's tribal communities. Stops along the route will include skits celebrating tribal culture, intricate rangoli artworks, paintings, and traditional tribal art.
