Kota, Nilgiris
There are 7 Kota colonies in the Nilgiri Mountains, all of which live very independently of each other. Kota are traditionally known for their handicraft skills such as pottery, terracotta and carving. They exchanged these with the neighbouring Toda and Badaga to obtain plant and animal goods.
