Karbi people, Indigenous ethnic group in Karbi Anglong district, India.

The Karbi people inhabit the hills of Assam, practicing traditional agriculture through shifting cultivation methods across the mountainous terrain of northeast India.

The Karbi community entered northeastern India from Central Asia, establishing settlements near present-day Kaziranga National Park before moving to their current location.

The society follows a patrilineal system with five principal clans - Engti, Terang, Enghee, Teron, and Timung, each maintaining distinct customs and marriage regulations.

Visitors can participate in the annual Karbi Youth Festival, which presents traditional music, dance performances, and local cuisine in the winter months.

The traditional governance system includes a Lindok leader supported by council members who oversee ceremonial practices and community decisions.
