Abstract

The social practice of religion and worship has continued from prehistoric times to the present day. It involves the initial stages of life in which the universe has operated from time immemorial. Ancestor worship is an expression of the fact that the present follows the past through its memories. They have performed worship as a symbol of the faith that forms the foundation of the ancient people. They had worshipped Goddess Kotravai as the inspiration for their victory. Moreover, they had performed the worship of the Sepulchral Stone for the dead, the sword worship that was the cause of victory, the worship of nature as a result of fear, and the worship of the dead on the basis of the soul.
