      The people in Rohar, Jharkhand, have a distinctive medical and culinary heritage. Families catch red ants from the jungle and process them into a health-promoting, tart chutney. This generation-to-generation habit is more than just a food preference; it is a pillar of the community. The chutney, according to the villagers, strengthens immunity and cures a host of illnesses. They have a strong relationship with their surroundings because of the forest, which is essential to their way of life and provides both food and medicine. The resiliency and cultural legacy of Rohar are shown by the red ant chutney.
