         Wood is the oldest thing used as building material. Tribs ofBastar are used to make articles of Teak wood. So many rituals are directly with wooden artefacts.

              
Madia tribes of Bastar set up a wooden square column on the border of the village in memory of their esteemed ancestors. On which the important works done by them are represented in the form of carving. 
It says Madia Khamba (माड़िया खम्बा) (pole).
