(An excerpt from the children book "Etoa munda won the battle that I was reading again to daughter Nesara after many years . This folk song mentions names of trees Mahua and Mango in a beautiful way in the rituals ) "The Lodha_(tribals from West bengal, Orissa, Assam) bridegroom has to get married to a Mango tree before he can marry his bride. Similarly a girl has to marry a Mahua tree" During the ceremony, the women sing: The bride will be married to the Mahua tree! The groom will be married to the Mango!How happy will the wedding be ! The groom's name on the mango leaf! The bride's name on the mahua leaf,!How happy will the wedding be. !! (-Mahasveta devi ( Etoa Munda won the battle)) - Raghu Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
