This tribal festival, dedicated to Mother Earth, is known as Maati Ti'aar in central Bastar and Beeja Pandum in South Bastar. In both festivals, the seeds preserved for sowing in the coming season are fertilized through rituals and sacrificial blood. The festival takes place on different dates in different villages, but it mostly around the time of Chait Navratri in March-April. A toll is collected from passers-by for this festival. |
