ADILABAD: The belief in divine blessings is so immense that Adivasis who during poosmas worship tiger God and it’s deities that are located deep in the forests, are venturing into these spots barefoot without any fear of being attacked by the big cat.
Adivasis revere tiger God as ‘Rajulkpen’ in gondi. Tigers are called ‘Duvval’ and ‘Vagoba’ in Gondi.
Adivasis visit many popular places for tiger God deities that made of wood and perform special puja praying to the God not to cause any harm to their cattle that enter forests for grazing, and human beings.
Now, groups of Adivasis are visiting ‘Dheammal Rajulk’ located in the forest in Utnoor mandal and ‘Puli Kachar’ located on the Adilabad mandal border.
Adivasis strongly believes that the Rajulkpen will give them success in their mission.
They set up ‘Rajulkpen’ on the outskirts of their respective villages where they take their cattle and perform puja on the occasion…
