short description
By this simple yet sturdy tool-the Rabha-foundation makes their very livelihood-from cultivation and household chores to acts of culture and tradition.
The bamboo stick, made of durable and flexible bamboo, is the most versatile utility. Farmers use it to clear fields, plant crops, make low fences (Elwin, 1950), while it also serves as a support for walking by the elders or as a herding stick for the cattle. Being lightweight but strong, it is an aid to their everyday work.
The bamboo stick is more than a mere tool; this carries something of value in the Rabha tradition and ceremony. Bamboo sticks are beautified by the people and are included in folk dances and religious occasions along with festivals. These are also used in prayers by the elders and priests to grant good fortune and immunity against evil spirits.
Bamboo sticks have also become an integral part of everyday life for the Rabha tribe as they are used in agriculture, household work, and craft. Such a simple instrument speaks volumes about their culture, strength, and deep relationship with nature.
