Plateau of Jharkhand and Bihar. They immigrated to these two localities for various works such as Railway construction, Jungle cutting, etc.
by the moneylenders and Landholders and companies. Most probably they came One hundred to One fifty years ago. Since, this long time
they lived here and the plenteous number of urban cultural traits entry their life. As the result a few changes have specifically occurred in their
lifestyle. The study was carried out to look at how the changes and modifications occur in their Song, festivals and, the myth.
