WARNING::GRAPHIC!!
The temple leader was informed and eventually he managed to persuade Lalmohan to go to hospital.
Doctors tried stitching his tongue back together but failed and eventually Lalmohan was discharged after a few days.
This area of India is infamous for its superstitious Santhal tribes who practice unusual rituals to please their Gods.
Lalmohan is now at home recovering - unable to talk and feeding on a liquid diet - but proud of his actions.
His family are both shocked but accepting of his actions.
Mother Lalmuni Soren said: 'My son has been involved in religious practises since childhood.
'He takes a keen interest in rituals, but I never believed he’d one day severe his tongue to please the Gods.
‘I don’t know what will happen to him now, he’ll never be able talk properly again, so what future he will have is up to the Gods.'
However, the mother-of-four was sure her son would be blessed.
