Baikho Puja of Rabha tribe

Summary edit

Description
English: The Baikho is the principal deity of the Rabhas which is associated with the crops; worshipped only once in a year. The literacy meaning of Baikho is, “bai” means deity and “kho” means great. Hence, the name indicates a great deity. It is celebrated to propitiate the deity of wealth adored for her “ability to bring forth rains, abundant crops and health for the community.” It takes place annually to ward off “evil spirits” through puja ahead of the spring harvest; during which time the community people offer animal sacrifices, play traditional music.
