Who they are
The Giddikki form a traditional community in northern Karnataka, India, whose primary language is Konkani. Historically known for fortune-telling practices, today many families earn their livelihood from selling aluminum utensils as street vendors, daily wage labor, and agriculture. Collective life is organized by their own community councils and guided by Hindu devotions to deities such as Durga and Lakshmi, with no known Christian presence among them.
