Thus at a Kabirpanthi Chauka or religious service the priest breaks a cocoanut on a stone, and the flesh is cut up and distributed to the worshippers with betel-leaf and sugar.

Each receives it on his knees, taking the greatest care that none falls on the ground.

The cocoanut is commonly regarded by the Hindus as a substituted offering for a human head.

The betel-leaves which are distributed have been specially consecrated by the head priest of the sect, and are held to represent the body of Kabir.
