It is ritualistic but there's nothing wrong with it. It's symbolism and it intensifies the emotions and message of the bani, almost dramatises it. Think about how we use hand gestures, or poem/book to play/film adaptations.

If you think about it, why do jhatka on a coconut? That sounds like something they would say on those Star Plus shows.

Lol at Star Plus. Is your issue with the fact it's a coconut or the jhatka itself?

Jhatka is perfectly fine to me, but on a coconut? Seriously guys.

If I ever saw a demon/spirit that looked convincing enough to not be a dress up costume or a prank, then Kirtan Sohila and Benti Chaupai (and any other bani that helps in the context) with naam simran should do it.

First off it's not really jhatka. In the maryada there it just says 'vadd', meaning to cut - you can't jhatka a coconut. Secondly, like I said it's symbolic of the slaying of demons - the act of cutting adds a visual aspect, and think about the sound it would make. Both could be classified as dramatic techniques. Thirdly, it doesn't have to be a coconut, it says you can use sugar cane too.

Don't read into it too much bro, it's not as suspicious as it seems. This is how paranoia over symbolism starts. It's no different to having jot or someone on dhoop duty during an Akhand Path.

Yea the coconut or ganna (sugarcane) is when you do a akhand path of sri dasam. In a sehaj path you are only supposed to vadd one at the end when the bhog lines "bidih sakiya sagre" comes on hikayet 11 and 12.

They also do it here during the bhog:
