The Gadaba or Gutob people are an ethnic group of eastern India.

The Gadabas speak Gutob and Ollari, which are Austroasiatic and Dravidian languages respectively.

Since the early 1980s the Gadabas have largely been displaced from their villages by the building of hydro-electric dams and the resulting lakes.

Gadaba women traditionally wear neck rings which are about 500-700 grams each and can not be removed without the help of a blacksmith.

[3] A Gadaba woman traditionally wears a two-piece dress which is very colorful, often striped in red, blue and white, which is woven by the women themselves.
