Introduction
Most people in this community are involved in agriculture. Those who live in villages have their self-government. They have special priests for temples, barbers, clothes washers and medical workers in villages. These people also have their own temples that are called King Temples. They are also the priests in village temples and shrines, exclusively owned by these people.
Ministry Obstacles
