The Dangaria Kandha (Odia: [ɖɔŋɡɔɾia kɔn̪d̪ʰɔ]) people are members of the Kondhs. They are located in the Niyamgiri hills in the state of Odisha (formerly Orissa) in India. They sustain themselves from the resources of the Niyamgiri forests, practising horticulture and shifting cultivation. They have been at the centre of a dispute over mining rights in the area.
