The Sora (alternative names and spellings include Saora, Saura, Savara and Sabara) are a Munda ethnic group from eastern India. They live in southern Odisha and north coastal Andhra Pradesh. The Soras mainly live in Gajapati, Rayagada and Bargarh districts of Odisha. They are also present in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts.

  • La tribu Saura (ou Sora, Saora, Savara ou Sabara) est une tribu de langue austro-asiatique vivant dans l'Orissa (Inde) et comptant 535 000 personnes en 2011. Les Saura sont des grands marcheurs, grimpeurs et chasseurs. Leurs peintures ont une certaine ressemblance avec celles des Warli. Chez les Saura, on exerce le chamanisme. Les "grands chamanes" sont toujours des femmes. Au nombre de ces fonctions figure la relation aux morts. La tâche de conduire les rituels funéraires afin de mieux accompagner les morts vers l'au-delà incombe donc à ces grands chamanes. Les peintures saura s’appellent « ikon (icône) » et illustrent l'univers, la nature, les mythes hindous... Elles sont destinées à conjurer des mauvais sorts ou à invoquer des moments propitiatoires ou, plus généralement, à marquer les 4 principaux moments de la vie : la naissance, la puberté, le mariage, le décès. Au-delà des formes traditionnelles de l’art indien, qui relate généralement des épisodes des grandes légendes de l’hindouisme, les Saora puisent leur inspiration pour traduire une Inde qui mêle scènes primitives et objets du monde moderne. Très souvent les illustrations sont inscrites dans un cadre géométrique très strict, une façon de figurer le resserrement de la tribu en un lieu protégé, tel un temple virtuel porteur de leur identité. Deux motifs encadrent généralement chaque peinture : celui situé à l’extérieur symbolise la ligne des montagnes qui les entourent, l’autre figure la forêt qui les abrite. Il s'agit probablement d'une façon d’affirmer leur territoire et leurs ressources face aux dangers qui les menacent. (fr)

The Soras mainly live in Gajapati, Rayagada and Bargarh districts of Odisha. They are also present in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam districts.

Their highest concentration is found in the Puttasingi area, approximately 25 km away from Gunupur NAC. Although, they are close to the assimilation process, yet some interior GPs like Rejingtal, Sagada and Puttasingi have Soras who still retain their traditional tribal customs and traditions. They are known by various names such as Savara, Sabara, Sora, and Soura. They are concentrated in parts of Gunupur adjoining to the blocks of Gumma, Serango of Gajapati district. The Soras speak Sora, a Munda language. However, written language in Sora is not followed by all. They practice shifting cultivation, with a few gradually taking up settled agriculture. They are of medium or short stature. The Savara villages consist of houses with mud walls and sedge grass roofs, usually situated in foothills. The adult males dress with a gavancha and the women with saris. They are also sometimes called Lanjia Souras due to their dress pattern of wearing a loin cloth hanging from behind and which could be mistakenly identified as a tail by a stranger. They are endogamous and the clan, although absent, is related to Birinda, which is exogamous. Families are nuclear although joint or extended families are also found. Marriages are made by bride capture, elopement, and by negotiations. The Sora people are a dwindling jungle tribe with a distinctive shamanic culture. According to an article in Natural History, "a shaman, usually a woman, serves as an intermediary between the two worlds [of the living and the dead]. During a trance, her soul is said to climb down terrifying precipices to the underworld, leaving her body for the dead to use as their vehicle for communication. One by one the spirits speak through her mouth. Mourners crowd around the shaman, arguing vehemently with the dead, laughing at their jokes, or weeping at their accusations." (en)
