The movement initiated socio-religious revivalism, which later extended to an appreciation for indigenous practices associated with land and forest. Despite the crucial role of Adivasi women in propagating Sarnaism and active participation in the Sarna Movements at the Parha level, they remain mostly on the sidelines of the larger political and religious movements in the region. They were even prevented from entering the Sarna Sthals (Sacred Groves) for prayers and worship. However, over time, the movement challenged this tradition and recognised the pivotal role played by women as custodians of Sarnaism and strengthened their Adivasi identity.- Reproduced
