This important Odisha festival of the tribal people of Koraput is Chaita Parab. It is also observed by the Bhuiyans of Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh and Keonjhar. Bhuiyans are an ancient Hinduised tribe who greatly influenced the culture of the other tribes. They are also found in Seraikela and Kharswan regions of the district of Singbhoomi in Bihar, where the festival is observed with great enthusiasm.
In Chaita Parab the villagers use to worship their Goddess mother earth. They worship Mother Earth with liquor and sacrifice animal or bird. During the days the women keep on singing and dancing, waiting for their men to come. In the evenings they unite, feast, drink and dance together.
