Village custom prevents guests from night stay

In a village in Jharkhand state of India, a strange centuryold custom is prevalent in the tribal hamlet of Dardaha, which prevents the residents from encouraging guests to stay overnight at the village, for they believe something bad may befall them.

Non-tribals are free to move around the village, but only till dusk. Once the sun sets, the villagers are not willing to allow the dikus (outsiders) to spend the night, because they think they may incur the wrath of the kuldevta (village god), which can be fatal, claimed a tribal expert of the region, Shyam Sunder Mahto.
