PURUL

Surrounded by mountain and hill Purul is home to more than 5 thousand people, belonging to the Mongoloid race and speaking Indo Burmese dialect. The rich culture and tradition are reflected in their day to days life with agriculture as it main occupation. The tradition and the culture revolve around agricultural and its allied practices.    The rich culture and heritage are passed on by the village elders to the young ones through songs and dance. People live a community life with women given equal status with men, but major decision are taken by the male of the society. With the conquest of India by the British missionaries began arriving preaching and changing the the tradition of the indigenous people.As a result majority of the population embed Christianity.
