They still enjoy a high degree of culture. Their religion is Hindu. Some even retain the sacred thread. Some of thew Gods like Thakur Deo, Dulha Deo and Burha Deo command respect among local Hindus, The most interesting thing shout they marriage customs is that they are similar to those prevalent among Koch and Bodo tribes of the Northeast."
