Fried Red Ant Chutney & Cockfight

While on my way to Chitrakoot waterfall from Jagdalpur (Chhattisgarh), I stayed for a couple of hours in the Mardum tribal market on the second March of 2019. There I absorbed some experiences which I can never forget in my lifetime. I saw people taking country made liquor in leaf plates along with fried red ants( locally called Chhapda). Chhapda chutney is a preferred delicacy there. I came to know that these red ants also do have healing properties. If a person having high fever allows these red ants( normally found in mango trees , plentily available there) to crawl all over his/her body in large numbers, the high fever immediately falls down after 10-12 mins. Here I have given photo of the fried red ant chutney. You may go through the following write up to absorb the experience staying at a distance...... though experiencing a certain destination hundred percent can only become possible if you land there physically... https://lunarsecstacy.com/2022/06/06/cock-fighting-in-mardum-tribal-market-chhattisgarh/ #tribal #triballifestyle #chhatisgarh #mardum #tribalmarket #jagdalpur #chitrakootwaterfall #cockfight #MohuaLiquor #Chhapda #RedAnts #Sukkshi
