'JUNE AND NAV MARATHE'
Their is 56 kulli Maratha community in Maharastra. We also find Maratha community in state of Goa and Karnataka. Some of them say to themselve as Konkan Maratha, Shatriya Maratha, or they say Gouda Maratha, Bhandari Maratha Samaj, Tarukar Maratha samaj, Gomantakiya Maratha Samaj, Satarkar Maratha Samaj etc.
In Goa. particularly in Sattari Taluka we have JUNE MARATHA and NAV MARATHA community living together. They both called themself as Kulvadi.Their main occupation is farming. In the past they both was involved in shifying cultivation called KUMERI SHETI. Most of thems KULL DEVI or GRAMM DEVI is either SATERI, BRAHMANI MAYA, KELBAI, or JOGESHWARI, SHANTIDURGA etc.
Socio- culturally they are very close to each other. both they are performing traditional dance like DHALO and FUGADI . They cellebrate SHIGMOTSAVA togeter. They performce Ghodemodnni, Karulyo etc. They have common folk drama called RANMALEM. In some Villages They have common temples.
They do KHARGAM POOJA, NAGAPANCHAMI, GORAWAM PADVO. Wedding rituals,Birth and Death rituals are seems to be common.
They have common sernames likes SAWANT, GAONKAR, GAUNS, GAD, RANE, MAJIK etc.
But!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In this community their is NO ROTI BETI VEVAHAR. Why?????????????? why their is a discrimonation among themselve?
Shri Devi Mahalasa of Paye Sattari is the Kuldevi of Rane Sardessai and Nav Maratha like Mhalshekar, Gurav etc. Rane family say they are KHASHE! superior then NAV and JUNE MARATHE and they are not involved in ROTI BETI VEVHAR with JUNE and NAV MARATHA.
Acording to JUNE MARATHA NAV MARATHA are lower cast and they say to them as SATARKAR! Their are so many similarties between these communities but why their is a great difference ?
According to me NAV MARATHA are the fist settelers of Sattari. June Maratha and Rane came later in Sattari. Becouse most of the Nav Maratha satteled on the bank of River of MAHADAI (MANDAVI).
It is said that SAWANT and MHALSHEKAR of Parye Village are came from SHRINGAPUR MAharastra.(It has evidence in GARANE). Secondly BHUMIKA TEMPLE of Parye is the STHAL DEVATA fo that Village and called as SATTA SATTARICHI BHUMIKA means the godess of Sattari Taluka.
