the Cult of the Tree Goddess in Eastern Bengal (Man in India II, 1922, p. 230 onwards), the myth, H. Zimmer, Mytsand Symbols in Indian Art and Civilization, p. 190 et seq. An important rite, navapatrika (nine leaves ") makes clear the character of Durga plant," JOM, O, leaf (Patrik), oh, nine sheets of Durga! Jeres appreciated by Mahadeva: accept all these gifts and prot & geme, O queen of heaven! IOM abiding adoration to Durga in nine sheets! " (Mitra, op.cit, p. 232-233). As the deity of trees, we met Durga especially in the districts of Mymensingh and Tippera in dcnde is known as Bana Durga. She lives in the tree Sheoran (Streblus asper), sometimes in the roots of the tree uduma ((. Ficusglomerata?). Bana Durga is worshiped before the ceremony of investiture of the sacred thread before the marriage ceremony, usually before any auspicious ritual. In Comilla district Tippera, it worships at the root of the tree kamini (Murraya exotica) with the formula: "(submission to the goddess (Durga who lives in the tree Sakota." Generally, you slaughtered pigs and 21 chickens, on the occasion of the Bid. This is a beautiful detail to determine its origin and its non-Aryans.

(On the Worship of Dakshina Raya as a Rain God, Journ. Anthr. Soc Bombay, XIII, n. 2, 1924). Some non-Aryan customs related ccn the worship of the goddess Kali are also popular in the Kali-fi sta Naucht, during which groups of masked dancers recc-rren the streets after the goddess worshiped at midnight, three days earlier near a banyan tree (see Dhirendra Nath Majumdar, Notes on Kali Naucht, Man in India, III, 1923, p. 202-205). We will have occasion to speak new-mind about the relationship between Durga and the popular cults of vegetation (see p. 327). Importantly, now the indefatigable power of absorption of Hinduism, even now turns to aboriginal tribes and sub-castes in caste, and their deities in manifestations of Siva and Durga.
