Halba/Koshti weddings
The Halba/Koshti is a sub-caste of the Halba community. The "Halba" stands for old or primitive. Due to their military services, they got land grants from the Gond kings. The Halbas are Hindus, and they believe in Hindu deities. Many Halbas are associated with preparing and selling the parched rice for their living.
Since selling and preparing the parched rice is their primary profession, when other people started weaving, they were removed from the community. Due to this denial, their caste got mixed with "Koshti." It is why these people were later known as Halba/Koashti. This separation leads to the rejection of various rights which the people of the Halba community enjoy.
The people Halba/Koshti community can marry the daughter of mother's brother, but they are not allowed to do the same with their paternal family. They accept the daughters from other castes but do not allow their daughters for inter-caste marriage.
