Society of any tribe cannot be discussed without discussing its culture, polity, economy and education. Among all the ethnic tribes of Assam, the Chutias were the most civilized tribes who ruled gloriously in the kingdom named Vidarbha (Presently Sadia Region) with its capital at Kundil Nagar (Presently in Arunachal Pradesh). The Chutias had contributed much to every aspect of society and the Assamese society of today will be incomplete without recounting the contributions made by the Chutias towards Assamese society. The Chutia kingdom played a crucial role in shaping Assamese culture and society, having a lasting impact that continued to resonate through successive historical development. The Chutia community is recognized as an Other Backward class by the Government of Assam. As an ethnic tribe they have a rich historical and cultural heritage. Among all the Assamese ethnic groups, most of the elements of Assamese culture were created by Chutia community. In this study the investigator wants to evaluate the cultural heritage specially rituals related to agriculture of Chutia community that holds the most significant place in the culture and history of Assam.
