Taliban: Bomb hits mosque in Afghanistan, wounds at least Covaxin safe, shows As we enter the grove, withered leaves and dried twigs snap under our feet breaking the heavy silence. I can faintly hear unknown species of birds chirping. A huge sal tree stands tall in the centre. Sanika says the tree could be over five-century old and is worshipped to invoke Singh bonga, the Almighty.
Orange mushrooms adorn its gnarled branches that cover the ground. Sanika warns us against lopping a branch or even plucking a leaf in the grove. That night, a tiger carried away his cattle. The Munda tribe traces its lineage to Mohenjodaro and Harappa civilisations. It is believed that the Aryans armed with sophisticated weapons displaced the Mundas and chased them as far as Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The tribe being fiercely independent crossed the Narmada and Son rivers to enter Jharkhand, and settled down near Sutiambe on the Patratu-Ranchi road, about 20 km from Ranchi, some 2, years ago.
In the morning, the birds were seen freely roaming about; the water also remained untouched. This indicated that the place was safe for the Mundas to settle down. The tribe cleared some patches to establish villages and farmland, and protected the remaining as sarna.
According to Soma Munda, there are 12 types of sarnas, the most predominant being the baha or sarhul sarna. It is believed that worshipping it brings prosperity and wealth to the village.
Other important sarnas are chandi sarna, mahadani sarna, keda sarna, bheda sarna and gumi sarna. Animal sacrifice is an integral part of our festivals held inside sarnas. Soma, who has been leading the Koel Karo Jan Sangathan KKJS against the proposed Koel-Karo hydropower project in Khunti, recalls an incident when land survey officials in charge of the project fell ill and eventually left the place after the residents offered puja in mahadani sarna. Vijay Gudia, the general secretary of KKJS, proudly says Lohajimi, the site for the proposed Karo dam, has all the 12 different sarnas.
Though the project was scrapped in , a sense of fear underlies his perfectly unruffled composure since the Union government has announced to revive the Kutku Mandal dam on the North Koel, 20 years after it was shelved.
If the Koel-Karo project is revived, it would submerge the sarnas of Lohajimi, he says, pointing at the Karo that flows just a kilometre away. Similar fascinating stories surround the sacred groves of Jharkhand. In West Singhbhum, the land of Hos, the Singhaso buru mountain reigns supreme among all groves, called jaherthan or disauli by Hos.
