Korwa of Uttar Pradesh
The Korwa tribals in Uttar Pradesh are found mainly in the southern districts of Mirzapur and Sonbhadra. Their habitat is a hilly, forested and undulating area. The community has four sub-groups- the Agaria Korwa, Dam Korwa, Dih Korwa and Pahar Korwa. They are further divided into seven exogamous clans, nsmely the Guleria, Haril, Huhar, Leth, Munda, Mura and Pahari. Most Korwa are still hunter gatherers, and are one of the most isolated of the Uttar Pradesh tribes. A small number have taken to settled agriculture, and are being assimilated into Hindu society. However, they have their own tribal deity known as Dih. Each of their settlement contains a shrine to the goddess called a Diwar.
