Major festival of tribal society
The main festival of tribal society is completely different and unique from the other festival celebrated in Sarhul country. The Sakhua tree is worshiped during Sarhul Puja. Along with this, fifth chickens of five different colors are sacrificed at the site of Sarna by Pahan. According to beliefs, the sacrifice of white chicken is given in the name of the Creator. The red rooster is offered to Hatu Bonga (village deity). The garland is dedicated to the chicken, water deity (ikir bonga). At the same time, Lupung or Rangli hen is sacrificed in the name of ancestors. Apart from this, black chicken sacrifices are given to calm evil spirits.
Pitta
The method of placing a pitcher at the Sarna site in Hatma, Ranchi, is done, according to which water is filled with water in two new earthen pots and kept on the site of Sarna. Looking at the water inside the house, we wear how the rain will be in the state. In such a situation, if there is water in the house, then there will be fierce rainfall, blowing fields and barn, if the amount of water in the pitcher is less, meaning rain will be less in Jharkhand.
Sun and Earth marriage
Talking about the faith of Sarhul Puja, people of tribal society celebrate this nature festival in the form of marriage of Sun and Earth. It is believed that Earth or Earth is seen as a mother, while the Sun as a father or a man. According to beliefs, the mother of the earth remains virgin before Sirhul, so the people of tribal society do not eat flowers or fruits from the trees before Sarhul. Here the marriage of Sun and Earth is celebrated as the new creation of life.
Crab and fishing process
It is believed that the earth is a virgin and the fruit or flower arising from them cannot be accepted. In such a way that an unmarried girl gives birth to a baby only after marriage. According to the same belief, this festival symbolizing the marriage of Maa Maa and Lord Surya Dev is celebrated as Sirhul, new creation of life, while the process of crab and fishing is very special during Sarhul Puja, crab and fish are caught from the same pond during fasting on the first day of Sarhul festival by Sarna Samaj.
After this, the crab is tied in the kitchen of the house, tied with seeds, then before the paddy planting, they are mixed with manure and put back into the fields. It is believed that by doing this, the fertilizer capacity of the fields increases and the crop in the fields grows in excessive amounts. Only after Sarhul East, people of tribal society start eating fruits and fruits like jackfruit and other fruits.
