The youth dormitory “Darbarghar” is built at the centre of the village for unmarried boys. The unmarried boys keep their changu hung on the walls and grain is kept on a raised platform in the corner of the dormitory. Mostly 5 to 20 families constitute a village. The Paudis keep their houses neat and clean plastered with cow dung and red earth. Each family maintained a kitchen garden. The house is divided into three sections with the inner section being used to store grains, middle for cooking and sleeping. Paudi Bhuyan mainly uses earthen vessels, palm leaf mats and bamboo baskets. The patch under shifting cultivation is known as biringa, pulses, millets are grown in various years. After the land is left fallow it comes under the control of the village. The livestock of the Paudi Bhuyan consists of cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, fowl etc. They are not good in trading, hence they exchange their agricultural and forest produce for their daily necessities. The Paudis consider Dharam Devta as supreme being and Basukimata as supreme deity who look after people in all respects. Some of the important festivals celebrated by the Paudi Bhuyan community are Am Nua, Kath Jatra, Akhani paridhi, Asadh.
