Women played important roles as family heads and decision-makers, in agriculture, such as uprooting seedlings and cutting ripe paddy plants, engaged in the education system and practiced with indigenous culture. Rajbanshi women are involved in various cultural practices, such as Padmapuran, Bratas, Tistaburi, Mangalchandi, Kati Puja, Hudum Gaan and many more are interrelated with their daily life. They have their own rituals, beliefs and customs which are practiced for the social welfare.
