Hindu / Rajasthani / Folk
Mehājī (15th c.) — Rajput warrior deified after defending village cattle from bandits. His shrine at Mangaliavas is circumbulated by Marwari farmers for harvest-prosperity. The Mehajī Melā in Chaitra (March–April) features horse-charge reenactments of his battle.
India's sacred landscape embraces Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian, tribal, regional-folk traditions — each with its own cosmology and priestly lineage. This entry honours Hindu on its own terms.
