In a green valley among forested hills, a tall statue of Kumram Bheem stands over the memorial grounds. For the Adivasi people of this region, coming here is a pilgrimage.

Kumram Bheem

Kumram Bheem was a Gond leader who fought for tribal rights under the call of 'Jal, Jangal, Zameen': water, forest and land. In 1940 he and his companions were killed at Jodeghat. Today the village is the site of a memorial complex honouring him and the tribal chiefs who fought for those rights.
