Kansasur mata lives in the lota. Lohasur mata in the axe - And the Baiga lives in my heart
Ahh the Baigas... Never before did I feel so enamored by a tribal group that I did by the Baigas. And the Gods are truly vivid, when it comes to the Baigas
Bhagawana Acknowledged as creator, maker of the baiga, concerned with life and death, Not involved in mantra
Bada Deo Chief deity of Baigas, involved with bewar. Jeth, liquor of new mahua is offered to him
Narayan deo Identified with bada deo.
Thakur deo Lord of the village and headman,
Marra deo
Dharti mata Mother of the Baiga
bhimsen Falstaff of Baiga mythology, giver of rain, bidri ceremony, red cock and red chick
Gansam deo Drives away tigers
Rat mai Goddess of night, offered a black cock
Paniharin Lives by water pots and protects women. Offered pulses and new rice.
Maswasi Lord of the chase. Also suttibhavani, raktipuri, alopurbi, kolin sutti bhavani. Lives in the bow.
And of course, the gunia who is not so much the priest as he is a warrior as he is considered to be a noble and heroic figure.
