Description
A karren field called Mitde Dingram or Dakgrikram is where the mythical hero Bandi fought with the invincible seven-headed boar Aragondi Wakmangganchi (MARAK 2000: 60, photograph 25). ETYMOLOGY: The Garo -Mitde Dingram- translates into battle field of gods / spirits (J.L.R. MARAK 2000: 60). The Garos are said to … believe in the existence of a multitude of benevolent and malevolent spirits (Playfair: The Garos, p. 80). All these good and evil spirits are commonly called 'Mite'. The therm 'Mite' covers what we call gods and goddesses and soe other lesser spirits and imps. According to their belief, these spirits or mites are everywhere -- in the sky above, on the earth beneath, in the depths of the waters, in the dark of caverns, recesses of mysterious mountains and in the trees and bmboo groves. Rivers and lakes, mountains and hills, trees and shrubs, sticks and stones, are the dwelling places of some spirits (Burling Robbins: Rengsanggri, pp. 54-55) (SANGMA, M S 1979 edited 181: 220).
