Myth of Arna at Koshi Basin

 There are a number of myths about Water wild buffalo Bubalus arnee in the Koshi basin. One of them is: long ago there was a wandering buffalo herder named Raghu Yadav who had hundreds of loyal buffalos. All he did was for the buffalos.                                                                                                                        As he became old and weak, he couldn't take his buffalos to the remote parts of the areas to graze. One day he died in the grazing field. All the buffalos guarded his dead body until it decayed. Later his skeleton was started to be licked by the buffalos to express their unconditional love towards their master. Buffaloes used to come around the skeleton after grazing at night and at any time.                                                                                                                                                                                People believe the ghost of Raghu Yadav is still with the herd of water wild buffalos at night after that time. His ghost uses to guard his buffalos. People also believe that they have seen his ghost holding a long stick and putting on a white turban on his head.                                                                                                                                                                                     

         The above detail is just a myth I have heard from our senior citizens. If this hurts anyone respected please take it as just an imaginary character. Thank you for reading.
