The Plowman and the Tiger Sacrifice in Birbhum
Sitaram, a Santhal plowman, faces a tiger attack after saving his bullocks. A dream of the goddess Bhawanai leads to a fatal injury for his wife Rebi, while his loyal daughter-in-law Rahri dies defending him. Sitaram ultimately kills two tigers with arrows, earns prize money from the collector, and becomes prosperous, aided by new religious ideas and colonial oversight.
