They built formidable forts, devised complex economic and socio-cultural practices, and along the way developed a distinct language, culture, and religion. To date, Gond kings are the spiritual leaders of all the people of Gondwana. The Gond ethos was preserved for generations through the art of Pardhaans. Pardhaans were the advisors to the Gond. through their visual and performed arts, they passed Gond values, knowledge, folklore, and governance systems from one generation to another.
