Traditionally, they are used to accompany a ritual in which the heroic deeds of Devnarayan are sung or recited by priests.
Devnarayan is worshipped as an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, mostly in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
According to the legend, he was incarnated in Vikram Samvat in 968 as the son of Gurjar warrior Sawai Bhoj Bagaravat and his wife Saadu Maata Gurjari.
The rest is part C. The Par reading is initiated with prayers or aarati of Lord Devnarayan and other gods such as Ganesha.
The central and largest figure of Lord Devnarayan is shown seated on Basag Nag (king of snakes) and the side view of Deoji has a sharp nose and prominent golden ornament.
The whole epic, including the war of Bagaravats with Durjansaal and incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Shri Devnarayan, is sung by the Bhopas.
The Bhopa offers prayers to it three times a day while playing a Jantar and lighting incense sticks.
Bhopas of the god Devnarayan play an important role in promoting solidarity in the community and preserving its culture.
