Similarly, the influence of 'Bhagat' or Vaidu is seen in tribal areas. Because they have good knowledge of the plants in the forest. Similarly, they also use tantra-mantra for treatment. Also, they are from the Gotya family, and they are always available for treatment. Therefore, they have faith in them.
