S. N. College, University of Delhi, Delhi Abstract The region of the Santal Paragnas had acquired a distinct identity of its own, at least from 7th century A.D. onwards. The Baidyanath cult facilitated for this distinct regional identity of Santal Paragnas and its surroundings. The Santal Paragnas along with some of the areas of modern Bihar and West Bengal; such as the Banka and the Jamui Districts of Bihar in the north and north west and Burdawan and Birbhoom Districts of West Bengal in the south and south east comprise a large and separate geo-cultural entity. Some of the characteristics of this region can be identified by any serious student of History. Topography, demography, Languages, mode of agriculture, landscape, pattern of house building, food habits, attire and several other things form this vast country into one distinct region. Most of the people of this region are tri-lingual. Apart from the local dialect, almost all the population of this area understands and speaks Bangla and Hindi. Shiva and Shakti are worshipped in the entire area. Baidyanath remains in the centre of the entire world view of this region. Not only the famous temples of Baidyanath and Basukinath but several other Shiva temples and Shakti-Pithas are the centers of cultural activities of this region. Here Shiva and Shakti combine together and become one, as far as the philosophical background of the Hindu religion in this region is concerned. All are Shakta as well as Shaiva at a time, in this country. Even Vaishnavites also worship Shiva and Shakti. Hence, Shiva-Shakti cult becomes the essence of the Baidyanath Cult and Baidyanath in his Ardhanarishwar form not only is worshiped but remains as the supreme deity of this region. All other deities are connected to him in different ways. Keywords: Baidyanath Cult, Shakti-Pithas, Great-Tradition, Little-Tradition, Regional Culture. Introduction regional identity of Santal Paragnas and its th surroundings which demonstrates the The 7 century A. D. seems to be very assimilation of both, the “great tradition” and important for the making of ‘Indian History’ the “little tradition”, which gives this area its due along with the emergence of various socio- identity. The “great tradition” – Vedic and cultural traits in its various ‘Regions’. The Pauranik tradition - along with the impact of ‘Harshacharita’ of Banabhatta, the first Mithila and Bengal, is the dominant tradition of historical book in Sanskrit language was this region.
