Kacháris (加茶人)

The religion of the Kachári race is distinctly of the type commonly known as "animistic," and its underlying principle is characteristically one of fear or dread. The statement "Timor fecit deos" certainly holds good of this people in its widest and strictest sense.

I think he would have liked to have it said of him that, like Chaucer's Parson, He was a shepherd and no mercenerie, And though he holy were and vertuous, He was to simple men not dispitous, Ne of his speech dangerous ne digne, But in his teaching discrete and benigne.

The popular Kachári deities fall naturally into two classes, i.e., (1) household gods (na-ni madái); (2) village gods (gámi-ni madái). [25] The former are worshipped inside the house, or at least in the homestead (compound); the latter by the whole village collectively, outside the house, and usually near the sacred grove of trees or bamboos, often to be seen some fifteen or twenty yards from the village, and known as the thansali.
