Checklist for Qualitative Research and Additional Information in Methodology.

The research is based in Odisha, a state known for its rich cultural heritage, where the rituals and festivals under study are practiced. The salient contextual factors include the cultural practices and belief systems surrounding these rituals, as well as the growing concern for environmental sustainability. The rituals often celebrate the interconnectedness between nature and humans, making Odisha an ideal location for this study. The context of Odisha is crucial because the state’s rituals are deeply embedded in its cultural identity and environmental practices. Understanding these rituals in the context of Odisha allows the research to highlight how traditional practices contribute to modern concerns about ecological preservation.
