Nabanna
 A widely practiced custom among the tribal as well as non-tribal population of
Orissa is the offering of the first fruits to the deities, especially to the village deities. Paddy is the most significant crop which is measured as Goddess
Lakshmi.
There is a special variety of early paddy which is already ripe by this time. A porridge made of new rice is offered to the ancestral spirits and to the local deities.
