Three deities – Dharmaraj, Swarupnarayan, Madan – were taken on large wooden horses and the ritual of ban-phonra (piercing of tongue, hand or breast with bamboo splinters) was performed by devotees from the lower castes such as Bauris, Khaira, Lohar and others.
The village was predominantly populated by the people of lower castes, mainly Bauris, in earlier days.
