They are not vegetarians. They have birth and marriage rituals. The Buna people live in Odisha in the Puri District and Cuttack. They speak, read and write in Oriya, the trade language of Odisha.
The main work of the Buna is weaving. They weave saris among other items. Some work in agriculture. On the death of the father, the sons inherit the property with the oldest son becoming the new head of the household.
The Buna are Hindus by religion and culture. They worship ancestors along with various Hindu gods.
* Scripture Prayers for the Buna (Hindu traditions) in India.
* Pray that gospel materials and the internet will lead the Buna to begin their own movement to Christ. * Pray for Indian believers to take it upon themselves to pray fervently for the Buna people and to go to them with the blessings of Jesus Christ.
