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:
“Democracy and Republicanism in their best partisan utterances alike declare for human rights. Jefferson, the father of Democracy, Lincoln, the embodiment of Republicanism, and the Divine author of the religion on which true civilization rests, all proclaim the equal rights of all men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Female Virtues are of a Domestick turn. The Family is the proper Province for Private Women to Shine in. If they must be showing their Zeal for the Publick, let it not be against those who are perhaps of the same Family, or at least of the same Religion or Nation, but against those who are the open, professed, undoubted Enemies of their Faith, Liberty, and Country.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
