Religion
In North East India the Deoris are known as well civilized people . They have their own language to converse amongst themselves. History says that the Deori language was the original language in the Chutaan kingdom before the reign of the Ahoms in Assam. They worship Kundi-Mama (Shiv-Parvati) and hence fall under Hinduism by default. The Deoris are God fearing people. Since ancient days Deori people worshiped God by singing hymns and holy songs. Later on the experienced priests known as Boderi and Bharali started sacrificing animals in their temples; they not only worshiped God, but also administered the kingdom. They also built some important “Kundi Ku” (Temple) in their ancient city or nagar called “Khundi Nagar”. Now the ruins of these temples are in the District of Lower Dibang Valley, Lohit and Changlang of Arunachal Pradesh.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“They live together without king, without government, and each is his own master.... Beyond the fact that they have no church, no religion and are not idolaters, what more can I say? They live according to nature, and may be called Epicureans rather than Stoics.”
—Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512)
“It is visible then that it was not any Heathen Religion or other Idolatrous Superstition, that first put Man upon crossing his Appetites and subduing his dearest Inclinations, but the skilful Management of wary Politicians; and the nearer we search into human Nature, the more we shall be convinced, that the Moral Virtues are the Political Offspring which Flattery begot upon Pride.”
—Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)
“I told him that Goldsmith had said,... “As I take my shoes from the shoemaker, and my coat from the taylor, so I take my religion from the priest.” I regretted this loose way of talking. JOHNSON. Sir, he knows nothing; he has made up his mind about nothing.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
