Over a lakh tribals visit Kathi to worship founder king
Chaitanya Deshpande | TNN | Mar 25, 2016, 12.04 AM ISTRajwadi Holi, arguably the oldest Holi celebration of the tribals in the country, saw over a lakh tribals from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh gathering in Kathi for the festival that is being celebrated in the unchanged format from generations. This unique and rare tradition attracts journalists, researchers and photographers from across the world who are curious to document this phenomenon.
The 'Holika Dahan' celebrations started from the wee hours of Thursday when the tribals danced around the bonfire for hours together. While the men participated with the tradition weapons like swords and daggers, women embellished themselves with ornaments made of silver and wood to take part in the tradition. Musical instruments like Daf, Pawa and Tutari kept the atmosphere charged with energy.
"Holi is the biggest festival of the tribal people. It's like Diwali for us. The tribal clans in Satpura ranges believe that they all have originated from the Kathi kingdom. King Umedsingh, who established this throne, is worshipped on Holi," said Mahendra Singh Padvi, inheritor of the Kathi royal family.
The visiting worshipped the throne of king Umedsingh and his weapons that have been preserved by the family for centuries. They also marked their foreheads with 'tilak' from the soil around the throne. "The soil around the throne not any less precious than gold for us. We receive blessings from our ancestors as this place is our origin," said Bhakt Satiram Maharaj, who has been given the honour to light the Holi bonfire.
"Kathi welcomes visitors from across the country on this occasion. Even journalists, researchers of tribal culture and photographers visit this place even from abroad," said Pruthvi Singh, another member of the royal family. Political leaders and religious personalities also took part in the celebrations.
Legend of 70ft t bamboo There are many interesting traditions attached to the Holi celebrations in Kathi; and one of them is the legend of 70ft tall bamboo. The village is named after the 70ft tall bamboo that is called 'kathi' in the local language. The tribals from Gujarat travel around 350km with this 70ft bamboo specially grown in the deep forests. Devotees dig a 5ft pit in the gorund to fix this bamboo with their hands, without using any equipment. If the bamboo bends towards east, it indicates better rainfall next year. "This year, the Kathi has predicted good rainfall. The drought will end as the almighty will shower his blessings on us," said Sitaram Maharaj.
