Why do unmarried women worship the Suato demon in Navratri in Bundelkhand?

According to the tradition of years old in Bundelkhand of Jhansi, Madhya Pradesh, unmarried women worship a demon called Suata during Shakti Prabha Navratri. In this regard, the village people believe that in ancient times, unmarried girls were raised. This monster wanted to marry 3 thousand girls. The people of the village prayed to Lord Sri Krishna to avoid this demon. God said that a heroic warrior named Tessu would kill a Suata demon by birth. Xinxia, ​​once the king of the Suata monster, was taken away. When Tsuta was about to marry 3 thousand girls, including Xinjia, Tissu killed her and released her young.

However, before dying, Suata sought the blessing by praying to God that the virgin woman who washed her feet with water would not be disturbed. Since then this monster worships him for not being disturbed. Not only that, the virgin women worshiping Suata never have to be harassed. During this worship, women sing folk songs in which the name of the Suata demon is covered. This tradition remains the same today. It is only then that weddings and other religious programs begin in Bundelkhand. The statue is made from clay of Suata. This statue is adorned with a glass caddy. Decorated with colorful powder.

On the last day of the feast of mighty worship, Suata and the hostage queen Xinjia are married. Subsequently one of the body parts of Suata is thrown into pieces. When the Navratri is causing fog all over the country, it is worshiped not the Shakti but the Suata demon. Doing so increases physical and mental strength. For nine days the monster is worshiped. The sun and moon are prepared on either side of the monster. In Brahma Muhart, girls make Rangoli in Chowk. As the days of Navratri increase, the number of Rangoli increases. The girls fly the monster aarti every day. Watering and then ticking. Bundelkhandi worship and folk songs are sung in the evening.
