Kutia Kandha tribe lives in the south-west Odisha, especially Kandhamal and Kalahandi districts, which are surrounded by hills. The families of this tribe are mostly nuclear and their social, economic and religious activities revolve around the family.

Though they earn livelihood from shifting cultivation, their major income comes from making brooms, mats and baskets. The Kutia Kandhas wear distinctive attire which includes ornaments for self-defence and have tattoos on their arms and faces. They are also fond of music.
