The Soligas people are a shy nomadic people who have lived in the Biligiriranga Hills region of southern Karnataka for hundreds of years.

The Soligaru people live in Karnataka.

They are influenced little by modern ways, although younger generations are leaving and learning other ways.
Soligaru people harvest honey, berries, and timber from the forest. They are also cultivators of pigeon peas, beans, pumpkins, and millet for their own use. They build small shelters (pudus) deep in the forests of southern and western Ghats.

The Soligaru people practice Hinduism, the ancient religion of India. Hinduism is more of a catch-all phrase for the indigenous religions of South Asia, so there are many forms of it, each with its own deities and beliefs. At the popular level, Hindus worship and serve the gods whom they believe will give them favor and protection, much like a business transaction. They do not have a personal or familial relationship with their gods like Christians or Jews.

Although audio, visual, and written Bible resources are available in Kannada, the spoken language of Soligaru people, they remain unreached with the truth of the gospel. Their greatest need is to understand the infinite love of almighty God for them, and His provisional payment of the penalty for their sins. They need missionaries to go to them as Christ-bearers.
