      How in India, did forests become sacred groves? Quote some examples.

    Answer:

                      (i) Nature worship is an age-old tribal belief based on the premise that all creations of nature have to be protected. Such beliefs have preserved several virgin forests, called Sacred Groves. (ii) These patches of forests or parts of large forests have been left untouched by the local people and any interference by them is banned. (iii) For example, the Mundas and the Santhals of Chotanagpur region worship Mahua and Kadamba trees and the tribals of Odisha and Bihar worship the tamarind and mango trees during weddings.
