	JAI MATA JI :: Welcome to the Abode of the Mother Goddess

	Hijra (India) - Wikinfo
		In Indian culture, the hijra is a so-called "third sex." (The term "hijra" in this context is to be distinguished from an Arabic word of the same spelling.) A human being in India who is born with male genitalia but identifies as a female human being will very likely become socialized as a hijra.
		This socially constructed category involves involvement in a special caste and in a religious cult with its own mother goddess, Bahuchara Mata.
		Becoming a hijra involves a process of gradual socialization into that social group, and gradual assumption of a female gender identity.

	Welcome to National Folklore Support Centre
		The rituals like mata pooja, varusha pooja, their jamadh system and interviews of transgender people have been documented in the area of Chengalpattu.
		The transgender community has been successfully sustaining its society; its unique family set up, rituals, oral narratives in spite of being deprived of any means of respectable sustenance.
		Along with the collaboration of Priya Babu and Priyadarshini (transgender persons themselves) and through the availability of writings, images and audiovisual data about the community, our centre is in the process of documenting their oral narratives and folklore.
