Q. What is the tax-free land given to the Pahan in the Munda community called?
Answer: Dali-Katari-Bhoomi
Notes: In the Munda community of Jharkhand, the Pahan is granted tax-free land called Dali-Katari-Bhoomi. The Pahan acts as the village priest and head, performing sacrificial and festival duties. Both the Munda and Pahan are exempt from Chanda (quit-rent). The Pahan's rights are recognized even in Chaputa villages under Manki administration. This land grant is distinct from Mundari khuntkatti tenure and honors the Pahan's traditional role.
