Bathouism
Bathouism is the traditional religion of the Bodo people or Kachari people, named after ''Bathou'' which in Bodo means the ''five principles''. The five principles are: ''bar'' (air), ''san'' (sun), ''ha'' (earth), ''or'' (fire) and ''okhrang'' (sky). The chief deity, called ''Bathoubwrai'' (''bwarai'': "the Elder")—omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent—is said to have created the five principles. Though there are other minor gods and goddesses, Bathoubwrai is considered the Supreme God. The second most important deity is ''Mainao'', the consort of Bathoubwrai, who is considered as the "protector of the rice fields".
==Sijou plant==
The ''sijou'' plant signifies Bathoubwrai. Families that follow Bathouism plant a sijou shrub at the northeast corner of their courtyard, in an altar called ''sijousali''. Bodo communities that follow Bathouism generally plant a sijou shrub at a community land, fenced with eighteen pairs of bamboo strips with five fastenings. Each pair symbolizes a pair of minor god-goddess. The five fastenings signify, from bottom: birth, pain, death, marriage and peace/pleasure. The bottom three fastenings, called ''bando'', are those that one cannot escape in life; whereas the top two one could.
