Abstract

Every tribal around the world have one thing in common and that is a system of belief in a supernatural power, a spirit – benevolent and malevolent, spirits who bring misfortune and blessings, etc. Just like so, Adi Minyong and Lushei who inhabited the North eastern part of India have their own methods of worshipping their gods. They are surrounded with a multitude of nature deities who played an important part in their day-to-day life. This idea of polytheism pervades through every facet of their lives, manifesting in the form of rituals, be it agrarian rites, sacrifices, festivals, funerals and illness. Since there are no written records which can served as an evidence for the origin of their beliefs system, their beliefs system are totally based on oral and myths which had been passing on from generation to generation. Here we will try to analyze and compare the differences and similarity between the Adi Minyong beliefs system to that of the Lushei.
