It was a surprise, after unraveling a certain tribe in Bangladesh, fulling nak*d with different way of living.
It’s one of three Chittagong Hill districts in the nation’s south east which are populated by traditional tribes.
Photographer Rehman Asad traveled through the hidden area and captured an incredible perspective of day-to-day life for the people who live off the land.
The Murongs live in bamboo houses in the hills.
Mr Asad explained: “Their homes were made by bamboo and woods on hilltops, locally known as Machang Ghar. Every house has three or more rooms and a little balcony in front of the house.
“Those rooms are used for beds, kitchen, store room and guest room. They have no furniture and no electricity. Some people use a small solar panel for using lights.
“They sleep on the ground of the house using a simple home made mat as a bed and they sleep together.”
Some of the tribes in hunting
The people of the tribe rely on native animals of the area for their food.Their local delicacy is fermented fish, deer, frog or boar fat mixed with rice.
But the list of animals they eat doesn’t stop there - it also includes tiger, dog, goat, pig and cow.
Mr Asad was visiting during a festival called Kumlang, in which the tribes people sacrifice a cow for the harvest.
He said: “Men do little work regarding the family. They mainly hunt animals to eat from the hill.
“Women work hard. They collect water from the hill stream, river and lake early in the morning and then cook food. They do all the household work.
“They go to the hill to cultivate crops and they collect woods from the hill.”
The Murong people are mostly Buddhist and the men drink homemade beer on special occasions.
Another tribe hidden in the depts of South America has been exposed to the world for a different reason.
The ‘rainbow people’ are a group of naked nomads who live in the forest and focus on expressing unconditional love.
