The Gond and Korku tribes are indigenous communities living in the central region of India, and they have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply intertwined with nature. The festival referred to in the statement is known as "Hareli," which is celebrated in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. During this festival, the Gond and Korku communities plant saplings of fruit-bearing trees such as mango, guava, and jamun. The festival is a way of celebrating the abundance of nature and promoting the idea of sustainable living.
