The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Volume 3

Note 2 — Jādam

Reading edition

Semaria is a common name of villages, and is of course as such derived from the semar tree, but the argument is that the Jādams took the name from the village and not from the tree. Totem is perhaps rather a strong word for the kind of veneration paid; the vernacular term used in Bombay is devak.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
