While going to work as a daily labourer, they carry a container full of 'mandia pej'. Age is no bar among the tribals for this fermented drink.
From children as young as three years old to the aged, everyone is ready to raise a toast.
"From children to the elderly, all consume 'mandia pej'. Apart from keeping the body cool, it is also very nutritious. During summer, we reduce rice consumption and drink more of 'mandia pej' instead. We can never have enough of it," another Siribeda resident said.
