'''Baha parab''' or '''Baa Parab''' is a festival of [[Ho people|Hol]], [[Santhal people|Santhal]], [[Munda people|Munda]] and other tribes in India. "Baha" means flower in Mundari, santali and hol language. At Baha parab or Baa parab men, women and children are attired in traditional clothes, and [[Madal]] tamak(drums) are beat and tribal woman and man dancing . This festival takes place in the spring.<ref>Folklore, the Pulse of the People: In the Context of Indic Folklore By Mazharul Islam p.212</ref><br />
<br />
==Ritual==<br />
Marking the festival, the [[naikey]] or [[deurey]] (the priest) performs a ritual. A kula with flowers and leaves of the sal tree is offered to a Jaherthan (the altar) and devotees pray to "Jaher Ara", the god. After performing the rituals, the naikey along with others goes from door to door with the kula to bless everyone.<br />
People in the household, in particular young girls or women, offer food to the naikey. The naikey's feet are washed with water as he is welcomed by a<br />
family. After performing the rituals, the second part of programme start with dances, songs and archery practice.<ref>Bharater adibasi, samaj</ref><br />
