Daheru Pahan worship a sal tree at Lohajimi in Jharkhand's Khunti district. Sal holds an important place in tribal ecological consciousness. Social activist Durgawati Oreya says once upon a time Singh bonga (tribal deity) used to live in people's homes. But somehow He took offence at faults committed by devotees and made the sal tree home. Since then, tribals hold it sacred
