Religion beliefs and customs in Santal society

Abstract

The socio-economic context of the forest-dependent indigenous peoples and their daily activities are particularly influenced by social beliefs, religions and customs. Indigenous peoples, who depend on nature, have built on their long-standing reforms and traditional customs and beliefs. Among the indigenous peoples, Santal society is different in many ways. Like other indigenous groups, the Santals have undergone a transformation, but they have preserved their culture in particular. Just as gods and goddesses play an important role in the religious life of the Santals, so nature and forest land influence their folklore. Despite living a hard and hard life, they have not forgotten their religion, culture, customs and traditions. The Santal people have highlighted their traditions through various festivals and ceremonies. My main goal in this research paper is to highlight the social beliefs, religions and customs of the Santal community outside of civilized society.
