The distinctive pattern of their houses says a lot about their sustainable lifestyle on the flood-affected island. The thatched roof bamboo houses are constructed in such a way that no harm is done to the family in the flood situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8689-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8689.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Man Busy  in paddy field\" class=\"wp-image-53414\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8689-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8689-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Man, busy  in paddy field<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Another theory of their architectural style is that the Mising community is predominantly agriculturally based people who spend a considerable amount of time in the paddy field. When the parents leave for their farmland leaving behind their children at home, their raised platform home is considered safe.

It is celebrated on the first Wednesday of the spring season. They celebrate this festival with a lot of flares. Feast, singing, and dancing are an integral part of the festival. &nbsp;The whole community comes together to enjoy this festival. Places like Majuli come alive during the festival. Apart from that, they also celebrate festivals like <strong>Porag, Amrok,<\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PRESENT_SCENARIO\"><\/span>PRESENT SCENARIO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8939.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8939.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8939-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/IMG_8939-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">In the present scenario, the Mising community has been adapting to changes in their lifestyle. In a remote island like Majuli, the traditional stilt houses are slowly converting into Assam typed concrete houses. The traditional meals are slowly becoming a delicacy only cooked at festivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The fraction in the community has quietly penetrated due to religion. In origin, the Mising community purely follows the Donyi Polo religion, but some of them have become completely Hindus by embracing, neo-Vaisnavism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Regarding occupation, the young generation has adopted a modern approach to getting educated and entering each field. Agriculture is no longer the only source of income for the community anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The women are also slowly turning themselves self-sufficient by earning a living with their handloom products in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">On a positive note, the &#8220;River People&#8221; have come a long way. If you want to have an intimate conversation and meet the Mishing tribe, Majuli is the ideal place to be in. A river island that is home to this amazing tribal community allows you to get a close look at their rustic lifestyle in the most spectacular way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FIND_ME_ON_INSTAGRAM\"><\/span>FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disclaimer\"><\/span><strong>Disclaimer :<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><em>The reproduction of any of the content, including the photographs without prior consent\/permission of the writer, is strictly prohibited and a violation of the same will attract legal action.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Pin it for later<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Neutral-Minimalist-Digital-Marketing-Guide-Pinterest-Pin-1-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Neutral-Minimalist-Digital-Marketing-Guide-Pinterest-Pin-1-1.jpg?resize=288%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53525\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em><strong>Did you like the post?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p><em>Follow me on&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TravelDiaryByParnashree\/\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/parnashree19\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/parnashree19\/\"><strong>Instagram,&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a>and stay updated and notified about the latest posts.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>For any kind of collaboration with&nbsp;<em>My Travel Diary<\/em>, reach at&nbsp;traveldiaryparnashree@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been to Majuli in Assam?
