Worship Baradeo as our Patron God

In Gond folk tradition Baradeo, also called Bhagavan, Kupar Lingo, Badadeo or Persa Pen, is the high god who oversees the lesser gods, the clan and village deities, and the ancestors. He is respected but not fervently worshipped; that devotion goes to clan and village deities, ancestors and totems.

Each Gond clan has its own persa pen, ‘great god’. It is tended by a clan priest and worshipped with sacrifices.
