- "The Bharias venerate Bageshwar, the tiger god, and believe that no tiger will eat a Bharia. On the day of Diwali, they invite the tiger to drink the gruel that they place for him behind their houses while simultaneously warning others not to stir. In the morning, they display the empty vessel as proof that the tiger visited them". (en)
- Kathotia, a sept named after a Kathota , reveres the tiger god whose idol resides on a little platform on the sept's veranda. Its members may not join a tiger beat and will not sit up for a tiger over a kill. In the latter case, they believe that the tiger will not come and will be deprived of its food if they do so and all their family members will fall ill. If a tiger takes away one of their cattle, they think there has been some neglect in their worship of him. They say that if one meets a tiger in the forest, he should fold his hands and bow down and say "Maharaj, let me pass" and the tiger will walk away. If a tiger is killed within the limits of the village, a Kathotia Kol will throw away all his earthen pots in mourning and shave his head and feed a few men of his sept. (en)
- Gond – A man who has been killed by a tiger or a cobra may receive a general veneration with the object of appeasing his spirit and transforming him into a village god.
If a tiger makes trouble, a stone is set up in his honor, and he receives a small offering.
If a Gond, when starting a journey in the morning, should meet a tiger, he should return and postpone his journey. But if he meets a tiger during the journey, it is considered good luck. Gonds think they can attain strength by carrying tigers' shoulder bones on their shoulders or by drinking the dust of tigers' bones pounded in water. (en)
