TRIBALS WORSHIP OF COW: 21st Oct- The tribals of Western Orissa showed a great example while observing Saharai & Bandana festival in the month of Kartika. They observed fasting to worship the cow as Go-Mata. The 3 day festival started with Gotha Puja where the Adivasis clean their cattles, designed them & the cattleshed also. Tribals observed the festival not indivisually, but as mass festival. Tribals are observing this Gana Parba to protect the cows which they believe will bring prosperity & peace to the residence as well as to the village & also to the society. To observe fasting by men & women to worship cows is definitely an ideal to the Hindu society.
