\"tiger<\/p>\n

\u2018Bagheshur\u2019 meaning the Tiger God is revered by tribes in Central India, especially the Baigas. Baigas are primitive forest-dwelling tribes and may be over 20,000 years old. We at Pugdundee Safaris<\/strong>, are fortunate to have Tigiya Bai and Munni Bai from the Baiga community as part of our team at Tree House Hideaway – Bandhavgarh<\/strong><\/a> from the adjoining village of Rakhi.<\/p>\n

Besides their regular role of looking after the kitchen garden and cooking traditional food for guests, they sometimes bless us with this slowly vanishing art. Such artwork is found in their village homes during festivals and is also part of their worship. The art is made using cow dung, mud, and natural colours. Such art is done at the entrance and is considered a symbol of welcome and joy, and it graciously adorns the welcome area of Tree House Hideaway.<\/p>\n
