Takhar or Taahkarr (in Serer and Cangin) is a demi-god in the Serer religion worshipped by many Serers (an ethnic group found in Senegal, the Gambia and Mauritania).[1][2] Takhar is the god of justice and vengeance in Serer religion[1][3] and worshipped at the foot of certain trees in the forest deemed to be sacred.[2][4] The Serer priestly class play a crucial role in the evokation of the demi-god and the implementation of its laws that devotees adhere to.[2][4]
