Tribal community is closely dependent upon the land which revolves around the livelihood and belief systems. The present study explores how the tribal community weave around the land with a belief system, traditional legends and mythical norm which transcends the soil from merely a physical entity to a cultural domain. Therefore, the focus is on the influence of the ecological relations on the religious, political and other institutions also how the social structure in turn influences the conceptualisation of the ecological relations. The man and land relationship between ecology such as practices on land use in the form of various agricultural practices, rituals to appease the nature and social institutions are explored further in the paper.
