Ghar Wapsi In Odisha: 110 People Return To Sanatan Dharma In Mayurbhanj; Cite Deception By Missionaries
In a significant socio-cultural development, 110 men, women, and children from Mahalibasa village in the Khunta block of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha have returned to Sanatan Dharma, marking a large-scale “ghar wapsi” event in the tribal heartland of the state. The ceremony, organised on November 2, saw the participation of 21 families from five major tribal communities — Santhal, Mankadia, Lodha, Barang, and Bhumij. The event was attended by Janjati chiefs from 18 nearby villages, who performed traditional rituals to welcome the families back to their original faith. The homecoming ceremony began with customary prayers and purification rituals conducted by local Janjati leaders. The participants, dressed in traditional attire, symbolically reaffirmed their connection to their ancestral beliefs and culture.
