Title:
India: Women pray at the Jakh Temple of Kutch (Jakh Botera< / i>), dedicated to the 72 Jakhs or Yaksha warriors, Kutch, Gujarat State
Caption:
Jakh Botera, Jakhdada, Jakkha Bautera, 72 Yaksha or Bohter Yaksha, literally seventy-two Yaksha warriors, are a group of folk deities worshipped widely in the Kutch district of Gujarat.
. The Jakhs are said to have been shipwrecked on the Kutch coast and came ashore at a place now known as Jakhau. Described as tall and with fair complexions and an advanced culture, their traditional number is seventy-two with at least one woman.
. Kutch (often spelled Kachch) is the northwestern part of the Indian state of Gujarat, divided from the main part of the state by the Arabian Sea and a stretch of salt marshes. To its north lies the Pakistani province of Sind. The name Kutch is said to be derived from the Kachelas, a sub-caste of the lohar (blacksmiths) or soni (goldsmiths) castes.
