Tribes are the part of our earthen-culture and are living with the science of nature. Their all socioeconomic
and traditional life-styles bear the print of natural environment. Sonajhuri was a purely tribal village
of Santhal community in Birbhum district which till-date exists with its partial nature-oriented traditional
identity. Khoai is the adjoining landscape (lateritic) to this village and is a matter of attraction to local, regional
as well as global tourists. Recently, there are more than 50 families living in this village with more than 250
people in it. It is a matter of worry that our age-old traditional earthen culture becomes gradual losses and this
village is not free from that cultural modification. The reason is particularly due to increasing influx of tourists
as well as the changing taste of the people in this Santhal-community. Rabindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan,
at a distance of only one and a half kilometer, receives huge number of tourists, almost round the year and many
of them come to visit in this tribal village. So at advent, the multi-culturalism is being gathered and gradually
the episode of the erosion of cultural resource has been accelerated. This study encompasses on the view of
changing tribal culture, its related impacts and the revamp measures to conserve the cultural identity of
Sonajhuri village through photo-Geographical explanation.
Key words: Cultural resource, earthen-culture, multi-culturalism, photo-geographical explanation, , ,
