Worship Mainao as our Patron God

Mainao is the daughter of the supreme god Bathoubwrai and the protector of the rice fields, sometimes equated with the Hindu Lakshmi. Bathou is never worshipped without her: her altar stands on the left of his, and worshippers turn the lamp seven times before it.

Among the four kinds of Kherai festival, the Darshan Kherai, held in the first week of Kartik, is meant for her and the winter rice crop.
