2. Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra- Gonds
The Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra is a revered pilgrimage and festival predominantly observed in the state of Uttarakhand. It is associated with the worship of Goddess Nanda Devi and involves various local communities of the Himalayan region. The Gond community, a prominent indigenous group, is primarily concentrated in central India, including states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Odisha, and is not traditionally associated with the Nanda Raj Jaat Yatra.
3. Wari-Warkari- Santhals
The Wari-Warkari tradition refers to the annual pilgrimage (Wari) undertaken by the Warkaris, devotees of Lord Vitthal (a form of Krishna) in Maharashtra. This tradition is deeply rooted in the Marathi culture and involves a collective journey to Pandharpur. The Santhals are one of the largest tribal communities in India, primarily residing in states such as Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha, and their cultural and religious practices are distinct from the Warkari tradition.
