The liquor is mostly prepared using the indigenous knowledge of the tribal community. The uniqueness of the liquor lies in the application of Bakhar, an amylolytic starter culture. Although, the preparation of Bakhar differs from community to community but ~42 species of ethno-botanically important plants are mostly used. The microbial consortia are naturally outsourced from rice and herbs used for the preparation of Bakhar. The amylolytic starter culture consistently generates maltooligosaccharides, which is a low calorie ingredient, less sweet and viscous, capable of retaining ample quantity of water within it. Besides, serving the purpose of a beverage, Haria can compensate the loss of water in the human system under extreme high temperature. Together with this, the drink also serves as a remedy for several acute and chronic diseases which may be due to the use of certain medicinal herbs as starter culture. Keywords: Fermentation; Beverage; Tribe; Haria; Bakhar Introduction Preservation of foods through natural fermentation is a purpose of beverage, brewed liquors sometimes acts as a widely accepted methodology, practised from the ancient times.

Four major forest ranges, Biligiriranga Hills, Himavad Gopalaswamy Hills, Malay Mahadeshwara Hills, and Shivanasamudra Falls were surveyed and a total of 97 lichens, belonging to 47 genera and 25 families were recorded. Physciaceae was found to be dominant family by 18 species under 8 genera, followed by Parmeliaceae with 16 species under 4 genera. Crustose type was dominated with 51%, followed by foliose type with 38%. Malay Mahadeshwara hills had highest lichen species richness and harboured 67 species, of which, 36 species were crustose type and 28 species were foliose type. Shannon-weiner index ranged from 3.85- 2.45 and Simpson index of diversity ranged from 0.02-0.09. Luxuriant growth of lichens was recorded at the altitude of mid elevation with degree of abundance, density, frequency and distribution of the lichen species compared to other elevation.
