The Old New Faith in Arunachal Pradesh Donyi and Polo, the sun and the moon
On the front facing wall of the balcony of Tajom Tasung’s traditional Adi bamboo house, built on stilts, hang photos representing some primordial deities revered by people of the indigenous community of Arunachal Pradesh.
The first is of Daadi Boté, deity of domestic animals, a traditional sign of wealth.
Next is Doying Boté, who Tasung says is responsible for human knowledge and administration.
Tasung, who is president of the Indigenous Faith & Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh, says Doying Boté’s blessings are important for those who want to take on leadership roles.
