The Murma festival is
celebrated by the Oraon tribe to celebrate victory. It is believed that people
of the Munda tribe were the original residents of Murma, but with the migration
of Oraon tribe to the area, the Munda raised a strong objection. It was decided
that the dispute will be settled by a music and dance competition between the
two tribes. The tribe which would lose would have to leave the area. The fight
continued for seven days and seven nights in which the Oraons came out
victorious, due to the possession of a special musical instrument, Mandar which
the Mundas did not have. However after winning, the Oraon asked the Mundas to
not leave and stay together peacefully. But the Mundas did not agree. They kept
their word and migrated to Khunti.
