Kakad Bhairav or Bhilat Baba BHILS

A stone deity worshipped by the Bhils in Madhya Pradesh’s Bagh was recently proved to be a fossilized dinosaur egg.

Just like their ancestors worshipped ancient stones as deities, generations of Bhils had worshipped this sunbaked, reddish-brown Kakad Bhairav or Bhilat Baba.
Sacrifices of chickens and sheep marked their whispered pleas to the roughly oval-shaped deity.
The deity, whose weathered face is adorned with a black tilak and a handlebar moustache, for bountiful harvests and healthy livestock.

India has the largest-of-its-kind dinosaur hatchery on Earth that stretches 10,000 sq. km across Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.

Tribes that resided in the Narmada Valley worshipped fossilized Titanosaurus eggs.
Kuladevata - The word kuladevata is derived from two words: kula, meaning clan, and devata, meaning deity, referring to the ancestral deities that are worshipped by particular clans.

Bhil Tribes

Bhils are popularly known as the bow men of Rajasthan. Their name is derived from the word villu or billu.
They are the most widely distributed and the largest tribe of the South Asia.
Bhils comprise 39% of Rajasthan's total population.
Bhils are classified as
- Central or pure bills
- Eastern or Rajput Bhils.
The central Bhils are found in the mountain regions in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujrat and Rajasthan.
Bhils are also found in the north eastern parts of Tripura.
The name Bhil is also finds mentioned in the great epic called Mahabharata and Ramayana in context of Eklavya.
The endogamous tribe speak Bhili, an Indo Aryan language.
Earlier they were the great hunters but they now practice agriculture as the source of livelihood.
They are also demanding a separate state of Bhil Pradesh.

Dinosaur Fossils National Park

The Dinosaur Fossils National Park is a protected area located in Madhya Pradesh, India.
The park is renowned for its rich fossil deposits, which provide valuable insights into the prehistoric world and the existence of dinosaurs.
Approximately 6.5 crore-year-old rare dinosaur fossils are found in this park.

UNESCO Global Geopark tag

The latest discovery, scientists hope, will give a fillip to their nomination for India’s first UNESCO Global Geopark tag.
Awarded by the United Nations’ body since 2015, the Geopark tag is given to territories for sites with global relevance to geology, geomorphology or paleontology.
If selected, the Bagh site will join a select club of 195 UNESCO Geoparks in 48 countries.
