Santal Religion
The Santal Religion is the traditional belief system of the Santal people, an indigenous group primarily found in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It emphasizes a deep connection to nature and the worship of various deities, including Sing Bonga, the supreme god associated with the sun and creation. Rituals often involve offerings and ceremonies to honor spirits and ancestors.
Central to the Santal Religion is the concept of Dharm, which refers to the moral and ethical duties of individuals. The community plays a vital role in religious practices, with festivals and gatherings that strengthen social bonds and cultural identity.
