00:12To show this, the IGTV Bharat team has come to a village.
00:16And we will show you.
00:18Look at this picture.
00:19On this side, the cows and buffaloes of the house have been tied up.
00:23The local tribals here are worshipping the cows first.
00:29After that, you can see that they are feeding them something.
00:33And this basket you can see is a buffalo basket.
00:38And if you look at this side, this is a soup made from buffalo.
00:42With which the tribal people of Bastar clean the rice.
00:46Before feeding them, their feet were first washed.
00:50After that, a mark was put on the forehead.
00:53And after that, by worshipping, the process of feeding the cows and buffaloes is being followed.
01:03You can see that there are elders, women, and small children all around.
01:08All the tribal people are celebrating Dihari Tewar here with enthusiasm.
01:14We will understand what this Dihari Tewar is and how it happens.
01:19What is the Dihari Tewar? How is it celebrated?
01:22The Dihari Tewar is the year-long harvest that is done in the fields.
01:27The grains are brought home.
01:29After that, the hard work that is done by the cows and buffaloes,
01:34we collect the grains and feed them.
01:39After that, the Dihari Tewar is celebrated.
01:41We eat the rice, the cows and buffaloes together.
01:48In that, we make khichdi.
01:50From the khichdi, we decorate the house.
01:52We hang the grains.
01:54At night, all the people of the village eat and dance with the bhaja-mohri.
02:01So, there is a whole atmosphere of enthusiasm.
02:03Yes, there is a whole atmosphere of enthusiasm.
02:05The whole village keeps shining at night.
02:07So, it is also said that this Dihari Tewar is the biggest Dihari Tewar of Bastar for a year.
02:14Yes, Dihari Tewar is the biggest Dihari Tewar of Bastar for a year.
02:18The small festivals like Hari Ali are the start.
02:21After that, the biggest Dihari Tewar comes.
02:24If you see how the Dihari Tewar is celebrated,
02:28the entire courtyard of the house has been decorated.
02:32If you look at the house,
02:34you will see different artworks,
02:36by small children,
02:38and by the members of the house.
02:42The whole preparation has been done by them.
02:45And the most special thing is that this Dihari Tewar is celebrated for the cows and buffaloes.
02:50And what is being fed to them is khichdi.
02:53Let's ask them how khichdi is made.
02:55How is khichdi made?
02:56Khichdi is made with vermicelli.
03:00We make khichdi with red vegetables, spinach, kumda,
03:04urad daal, kandun daal, kochi.
03:08We make khichdi with all these ingredients.
03:11So, we earn a year's worth of harvest,
03:16and then we come here.
03:18So, first of all, whoever has worked hard, should eat.
03:21Yes, first we feed the cows and buffaloes.
03:25We feed them first.
03:27Do you also snatch some from them and eat?
03:29Yes, we snatch some and eat.
03:30They have to eat fake food.
03:32So, they eat with pleasure?
03:33Yes, they eat with pleasure.
03:35If you look here, the small children,
03:38the thing I was telling you about,
03:40khichdi is fed to the cows and buffaloes.
03:42And from this, the small children and the elderly
03:46take a little bit from them and eat it themselves.
03:50How does khichdi taste?
03:52It tastes good.
03:54It tastes good?
03:55Yes.
03:56And were you waiting to eat khichdi?
04:01Yes.
04:02How long do you wait for Diwari?
04:04We wait a lot.
04:05We wait impatiently for Diwari.
04:07And the khichdi that we feed the cows,
04:10we snatch it and eat it.
04:11It's a lot of fun.
04:13And do you decorate the house too?
04:15Yes, we decorate it.
04:16We decorate it with a lot of pomp.
04:18How do you decorate it?
04:19We make a sign of the cow's foot.
04:23It is said that Diwari is the biggest festival for Bastar.
04:26Yes, it is the biggest festival for Bastar.
04:28Because Bastar is full of paddy.
04:31All the farmers live there.
04:34So Diwari is considered to be the biggest festival.
04:37Because all the crops are harvested at that time.
04:40That's why all the crops are harvested.
04:43And everyone makes it well.
04:46There is no problem of any kind.
04:49What is the role of cows and buffaloes
04:51when you plant crops in the fields?
04:54What is the role of cows and buffaloes?
04:56Cows and buffaloes do a lot of work.
04:59A lot of work is done.
05:01Their manure is also put in.
05:03And if there are no cows and buffaloes,
05:06then we do it with a tractor.
05:07But it doesn't feel good to do it with a tractor.
05:10We work with cows and buffaloes
05:12in small places.
05:14Tell me, what is the difference between Diwali and Diwari?
05:19Diwali is called Raja Diwari.
05:23We call it Raja Tehwar.
05:25We call Diwali the festival of the king of Bastar.
05:30And Diwari is our festival.
05:33It is the festival of the whole of Bastar.
05:36Let me tell you that one day before,
05:39the tribal people of Bastar
05:41tie a flower garland to their cows and buffaloes.
05:47In local language, it is called Geta.
05:50The next day, on Diwari,
05:53they are served Khichdi.
05:56They serve it in a basket made of buffalo meat.
06:02Then all the members of the family
06:06who live far away are invited.
06:10They also reach home.
06:12Everyone eats together.
06:15This is how the festival of Diwari
06:18is celebrated in Bastar.
06:20After the food is served,
06:24the tribal people of Bastar get together
06:27and play the local instrument called Mohri Baja.
06:33Let me tell you that
06:35Diwali festival is celebrated all over India.
06:38Diwali is called Raja Diwari.
06:41And their Diwari is the one
06:45where the first crop of rice is harvested.
06:49They make Khichdi from it,
06:51feed it to the cows and buffaloes,
06:53eat it and celebrate.
