Narayan-deo is another inter-tribal deity. Some identify him with the sun-deity but some believe that he is neither the sun-god nor the god Narayan of Hindu theology，but an aboriginal deity of the household，whose functions are certainly distinct from the former Hindu deities. Yet Narayan as he is worshipped by the Korku, Mavesi, Bharia, etc. is always called by the worshippers the sun-god. Narayan as the recipient of the pig-sacrifice，the remover of illness and the protector of the hearth, however, seems to be quite aboriginal in character. The homage paid to Narayan by the aborigines is universal.
