In this photo taken Sunday, Feb. 26, 2012, Indian Dongaria Kondh tribal girls watch sacrifice rituals during the annual festival of Niyam Raja in Lanjigarh at the sacred Niyamgiri Hill, about 400 kilometers (249 miles) from the eastern Indian city of Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. In August 2010 India refused permission to London-based Vedanta Resources to mine bauxite for its alumina refinery in the Niyamgiri Hills citing violations of environmental and human rights laws. The courts are expected to hear the company’s appeal later this year. (AP Photo/Biswaranjan Rout)
