The correct answer is A. Gonds.
Ottu Katha is a storytelling tradition primarily performed by the Gond community of central India. It is a form of oral storytelling that is passed down from generation to generation. The stories are often about the Gond people’s history, culture, and religion. They are also about the natural world and the animals that live in it.
The stories are told by a professional storyteller called a ‘Ottu Kathava’. The storyteller sits on a raised platform and uses a variety of props to help him tell the story. These props include a drum, a rattle, and a wooden staff. The storyteller also uses a variety of facial expressions and body language to help him tell the story.
The stories are often very long and can take several hours to tell. They are usually told at night, around a fire. The audience sits in a circle around the storyteller and listens attentively. The stories are often very entertaining and can be very funny. They can also be very moving and can make the audience think about important issues.
Ottu Katha is an important part of the Gond culture. It is a way for the Gond people to pass down their history and culture to the next generation. It is also a way for the Gond people to connect with the natural world and the animals that live in it.
The other options are incorrect because they are not communities that primarily perform the Ottu Katha storytelling tradition.
