Music and religious rituals have played a pivotal role in the community’s cultural practices. The district was once dotted with ancestral temples, mosques, and churches, each resonating with devotional songs that speak of saints, prophecies, and spiritual deeds.

Devotional songs often commemorated saints and upheld cultural legends, fostering a sense of identity and community among worshippers.
