The research on well-being has been proliferating worldwide with a paradigm shift towards a holistic understanding of people’s lives and how the socio-economic and environmental context influences people’s well-being. The article uses the case of the Garo ethnic tribe of Bangladesh to understand how well-being is realised in a matrilineal society. The article adopts four major dimensions, namely material and income, social, environmental and subjective perception, to measure Garo’s well-being. The research found that Garos showed stronger outcomes in the social dimension. However, challenges in material, income, and environmental parameters offset these positive influences due to the interconnected nature of these factors
