About us

Lugu Buru Ghanta Bari is the pride of Santal community since the period of civilization called Sosnok’ Jug in Hor-dishom. It was the period when Kherwal people lived together at a particular region for more than four thousand years and enjoyed most peaceful, prosperous and happy life style. No outsiders could invade this rich territory due to the vast dence forest (Bir dishom). It is said that our forefathers had built our forts by some Paris (Clans) and ruled the country by the then Raj-Rapaj (kings/ parganas). They had developed and had formed good social systems. Yet there was a fear of losing social systems and can face the danger. It is said that Marang buru had insisted Guru Lugubaba for his guidance. As such a long marathon seminar of 12 years was convened at the Darbar Chatani, under sacred Saal tree (Sari Sarjom dare buta), at the foot hill of Lugu forest. All Majhi babas, Pargana gomkey babas of all different villages/ parganas of all Paris (clans) had participated. It is said that gods and goddesses had also attended the social seminar. The main subject was for codification of social-systems performed at different occasions, ceremonies, birth, marriage and death ceremony, rituals of Bongaburu & festivals etc. It seemed to be highly positive in order to get the strengthen of Santal community – Majhi-Pargana system because it was more powerful.
