Travel Tips Of Sarna Sthal
Khunti, Jharkhand, India
The Sarna Sthal is the most sacred spot in any Munda or Oraon village in Khunti. It is a natural grove of ancient Sal trees where the village deity, known as 'Sarna Budhi' or 'Chala Pachho,' is believed to reside. Unlike conventional temples with idols and walls, a Sarna Sthal is an open-air sanctua ry that embodies the tribal philosophy of nature worship. The trees here are never cut, and the ground is kept pristine, representing a direct connection between the community and the cosmos. The grove serves as the spiritual and social epicenter of the village, where all major life events and seasonal festivals are consecrated. Entering a Sarna Sthal feels like stepping back in time; the air is heavy with spiritual energy and the rustle of leaves. The rituals performed here by the 'Pahan' (village priest) are ancient and involve offerings of flowers, grains, and water. This site is a living example of indigenous conservation, as these groves often harbor rare plant species that have disappeared elsewhere. It is a place of absolute peace, intended for prayer, community bonding, and seeking blessings for a good harvest. For a visitor, it offers a profound look into the 'Sarna Dharma,' a religion that predates modern organized faiths and centers entirely on the preservation of the natural world.
