Abstract

Humanity and belief systems have been found inseparable down the ages. Almost every culture has a unique way of understanding and celebrating its belief systems from birth to death. Though all religious traditions find their origin within human culture and civilization, people generally believe that they obtain God’s blessings for their welfare through their religious rituals and practices. One of those ancient cultures is of those people whom we call “people living in Karisal Mann.” Their life is intertwined with Karisal Man. Cho Dharman’s love and passion for these people is unparalleled. His writings vividly portray the unique characters in their religious cultures and rituals. This essay aims to bring out his idea of belief systems found among “People who live in Karisal Mann.”
