Dela kod or seed kukdi

The most important part of the seed bull is the lump core. Here Dhela means piece of clay and Core means rooster. It is called Beej Kukdi by Halbi speaking people. The word Halbi Kukdi also means chicken. Most of the people of Bastar tribals and Muria tribes sow dry in their fields. For this, when the paddy crop is harvested, there is moisture in the fields, which is called hail, at this time these fields are plowed. Ploughing at this time produces large lumps of soil. After celebrating Mati Tihar or Kohka Saad, dry sowing is done in these fields by ploughing once more. Here it becomes necessary to mention that baskets, soups, etc. made of bamboo are not used for sowing paddy, because the lump core has not been observed by this time. At this time clay or German vessels are used for sowing paddy. When the first rain comes, the paddy germinates, at this time the tribal Muria society celebrates Dhela Core.

 The tribal Muria community behind celebrating Dhela Kor or Beej Kukdi has a sense of obliging by the grace of their Mother Earth. He considers Mother Earth as his everything and organizes many events for her throughout the year. The tribal Muria community believes that they have sown paddy by ploughing in the chest of Mother Earth. Even on this, the seed has sprouted by the grace of the mother, this is the benefit of the mother. Dhela Kor is celebrated to oblige by the grace of Mother Earth.

To celebrate Dhela Core, all the farmers' fields on one side of the village, which are called dands. The head of that dand informs all the farmers that the paddy has sprouted, the lump core has to be celebrated. On the day fixed by the head of the danda, all the peasants assemble at the place of the dand, where all kinds of godworks are performed. All bring rice, lentils, chicks and puja material with them. The head of the dand coats it with cow dung at one place and makes small heaps of wet rice, this is called capital mandana. In this heap of rice he invokes Mother Soil. Mother soil has no deity, the whole earth is the mother of all. After invoking, he worships the mother with red, betel nut, coconut, lamp, incense and sacrifices the chick and makes oblations of alcohol. All the farmers pray after the puja. "Mother, we have ploughed your bosom and sowed the seed. You did not mind and today big lumps have broken and paddy sprouted from among them. It's all your grace. Today you are giving sacrificial worship, may you be pleased with us like this. By saying this, everyone bows down. This is followed by sowing and transplanting. Then everyone eats and drinks.
