Traditional rituals are performed by a <i>Dyushi</i> or a <i>Nungtang</i>, a Hajong shaman. Bastu pujâ, being one of the traditional festivals, does not involve idol worship and is celebrated in an area outside the village premises, called <i>Bastu hali</i> or <i>Bastu than</i>. In <i>Bastu pujâ</i> tortoises and pigeons are sacrificed for <i>Bastu dyao</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another festival is called <i>chormaga</i> in Mymensingh and <i>chorkhila</i> in India. Chorkhila is celebrated during the month of October in South-West Garo Hills Districts of Meghalaya. During this festival, group of young people go around each house in the village, or from village to village, playing music and singing folsongs, sometimes stories from the <a href="/wiki/Ramayana" title="Ramayana">Ramayana</a>. The parties receive some rice or money in return for their performance. Since every person, both young and old, comes out to watch the play, this is considered a chance to check out prospective brides and grooms.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Hajongs also celebrate their pre-monsoon harvest festival known as 'Biswâ'.

If it was originally a TibetoBurman language that was relexified by Old Bengali, some hints of its origin may show through. Several TB languages have a genitive [lə] or [la] morpheme such as Gamale Kham13 (Watters 2003: 689), Manange 14 (Hildebrandt 2004), and Tamang 15 (Mazaudon 2003). Interestingly, Gamale Kham also has a [ni] ablative (cf. the Hajong locative ni). Kurtöp16 (Hyslop in prep.) and Lepcha17 (Plaisier 2007) also have [n] based ablatives [ning] ~ [ni] and [nun] ~ [nu], respectively. These languages are spoken in the hills to the north of the Hajong population. Various authors, such as Biren Hajong, have hypothesized that the Hajong people originally migrated down from Tibet.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-26"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-26">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><i> 'With the passage of time, the population increased with the rapid expansion of new settlements the outlook of the society changed, and the Hajongs had started gradually to discourage this division system.
