Introduction / History
The Mukha Dora also called Nooka Dora are a scheduled tribe of Andhra Pradesh. They speak Telugu, the language of Andhra Pradesh. Many also speak the Mukha Dora language, which is what actually defines them as a people group.

What Are Their Beliefs?
They are officially Hindu, but they blend in their own traditional beliefs.
