To exemplify how the adivasis are attched to Mahua trees particularly in Chhota Nagpur Belt, I add an excerpt -" A Munda young girl can not think of getting married in a land where she can not watch Mahua flowers falling in the sombreness of the night. Santhals loose meaning of life without Sal and Mahua" . In thiese regions Mahua liquor is sold regularly in the weekly hat (market) in the villages. People buy more Mahua than other commodities. I tasted once. It was great.
