Santhal religion

Santhal religion is the indigenous spiritual belief system of the Santhal community, an indigenous tribe from India and Bangladesh. It centers around reverence for nature and ancestral spirits, emphasizing harmony with the environment. Key elements include rituals, ceremonies, and offerings to spirits known as "bhutes" and "janjis" to seek protection, health, and prosperity. The religion lacks a centralized priesthood, with community members conducting rituals collectively. It highlights moral values, respect for nature, and the importance of community and tradition, maintaining a deep connection to the land and ancestral heritage.
