The Garo community is unique in its religious beliefs, traditions and cultural diversity. The main deity of this community, which lives in parts of Meghalaya, India and Bangladesh, is Misi Saljong — whom they worship as the creator, giver of life and protector of crops. Garos believe that he bestows blessings on nature and human life.
