Detailed Solution

Devsari, Dand, or man in exchange was the small fee paid by the village to take some wood from the forests of another village. The Chhattisgarh plain is to the north of this plateau, while the Godavari plain lies to the south. Bastar is home to various groups, including the Maria and Muria Gonds, Dhurwas, Batras, and Halbas. People from one village pay a little charge called devsari, dand, or man to harvest wood from the forests of another community. Some towns also hire watchmen to safeguard their woodlands, and each family pays fees, as some grain to compensate them. Every year, the headmen of villages in a pargana participate in an extensive hunt (cluster of villages).
